Description

Striker to the line! Join us for a game of base ball by the rules of 1860, when sportsmanship ruled, spitting was not allowed, and baseball gloves hadn't been invented yet! These bare-handed base ballists strike with wooden bats, hurl a handmade vintage ball, and leg it around the bases to score tallies. Come on out to this family-friendly event to see a mixed squad of players from the Monitor Base Ball Club and the Merries Vintage Ladies Base Ball Club, both located in Chelsea, MI play a rousing match. Afterward, the teams will invite curious cranks (fans) to try their hand at hurling and striking. Huzzah!
