We attended the World Tournament of Historic Base Ball at Greenfield Village. We learned the rules of 1867 baseball, how the game has changed before/since then, and some of the history of baseball.
Greenfield Village is home to two clubs; the Lah-Di-Dahs and the Nationals.
On the grounds of Greenfield Village, hey had historic games such as cricket and bean bag tosses.
The game has a lot of the same mannerisms as it did in 1867 including the pitcher having to pitch the ball to the batter. You will notice that no one wears a glove in the field. Some other things you will notice, is that there is no sliding, nor running through first base on a hit ball.
An orginial jersey, ball, rule book of the times.
Trophies to the winning playes
