Seybold was inducted into the Manhattan College Athletic Hall of Fame in WHAT S A JASPER? Manhattan is the only athletic program in Division I with the Jaspers nickname. The unique moniker honors one of Manhattan s most memorable figures, Brother Jasper of Mary, F.S.C. Brother Jasper served Manhattan College in the late 1800s and was the first coach of Manhattan s baseball team. He is also credited as the creator of the seventh-inning stretch, which has become a time-honored tradition at ballparks across the country. During a game in the 1880s, Brother Jasper noticed students getting restless in the middle of the seventh inning of a close game, so he called timeout and told the students to stand up a stretch for a few minutes before resuming the game. Since Manhattan regularly played the New York Giants at the Polo Grounds in the 1880s and into the 1890s, the tradition spread into the major leagues. Starting Lineups By Game This is Manhattan s 18th game of the season. The Jaspers have used seven different starting combinations, with 10 players making at least one start.
