Apparently Annapolis is known for being the home of the Naval Academy, a fine institution with a long and storied history. But little did I know that right across the street is one of the oldest colleges in Maryland, or the east coast for that matter. St. John's is a small liberal arts school that isn't exactly known for its athletic programs - except for the croquet team. And I'm not even joking. They hired a coach - in fact they both have hired coaches. They have uniforms, kind of.
One Sunday each year the two schools have a serious match one four croquet fields set up on the main lawn of St. Johns. The crowd is right of the polo catalog - and from what I gathered it's better to be over dressed than under. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
