Meet the 2010 Johns Hopkins Blue Jays, the No. 1 college baseball team in Division III -- and their predecessors from 1891.

 When Hopkins advanced to the College World Series this weekend, Sun librarian Paul McCardell dug into the archives and found the old photo of the Jays, taken four years after Hopkins began playing baseball in 1887. We then asked this year's starting team to strike a similar pose for the camera.

The '91 Jays were a rowdy bunch who finished 7-5, with two victories each over Navy and Virginia. Pictured are (front row) outfielders George Carey and J.P. Fleming, catcher H.H. Keedy, and outfielder J.E. Davis; (back row) catcher C.R. McKay, utilityman A.P. Smith, Jr., second baseman P.J. Dashiell, third baseman W. Griffis, and shortstop D.C. Turnbull. Pitcher J.E. Davis was absent. 

The 2010 Jays, who are 43-5, open play in the NCAA championship round against Heidelberg (Ohio) on Friday in Appleton, Wis. Hopkins' lineup includes (front row) pitcher Alex Eliopoulos, outfielder Matthew Bernardi, outfielder Dave Kahn, and third baseman Lee Bolyard; (back row) outfielder Jesse Sikorski, catcher John Swarr, first baseman Chris Huisman, designated hitter Brian Youchak, shortstop James Teta and second baseman Stephen Bejsiuk.
