| At the end of the [[civil_war|Civil War]], baseball became the College's most popular sport. Students who had fought in the war brought the game back with them. By the spring of 1866, Trinity had its own varsity team and on June 10, the baseball team played and lost its first game against the Charter Oaks. Trinity continued intercollegiate competitions in 1870, beginning the rivalry between Wesleyan and Trinity. Trinity first beat Wesleyan in 1871, but soon went into a period of inactivity, holding practices but not competing in any collegiate games. By spring of 1874, new [[colors|green and white]] uniforms were designed, and the team went on to win several games. | At the end of the [[civil_war|Civil War]], baseball became the College's most popular sport.
