Very cool.No leagues here in RVA.Looks like one in Northern Va/D.C.
I would love to play the game Old School Style.

I mention the one here in Cleveland from time to time. They play some of the games at League Park, and use 1865 rules.. Haven't been to a game yet, but I bet it would be a good time. This year's schedule isn't up yet, but the website's pretty cool if you poke around a bit. Gotta bunch of goodies in regards to the history of the stadium, and a bunch of stuff about 19th century baseball in Cleveland.

The Boston area had a few local events; one was at George’s Island last summer that included two teams in vintage 19th century uniforms playing a game for the afternoon.

There's been a tournament in July for the last few years in a Gettysburg farm.

I think this is the one that Steve Buckley from the Boston Herald was/is involved with. Usually some great college talent and retired pros involved. I know that Oil Can Boyd, Carlos Pena and Steve DeOssie have all played in the past...

This season will be my 5th with the Wyandotte Stars BBC. We play by the rules of 1867 and play in about 25 matches a season. With '67 rules we play by the fly and not the bound (you can catch any fair or foul ball on one bounce to put the runner out). I have broken a few fingers playing shortstop, but oddly, only on thrown balls and not batted. We have guys aged 23 to 64 with an average of around 40 or so. I couldn't imagine a summer not playing. It is so much fun. The only bummer this season is that I will be limited to two days at the National because of a tournament up North that I can't miss.

This is a pic of my teammates and I (middle) just yesterday in the pit under a high school gym. Cannot get enough cuts and can't wait for the weather to break.

Best,

Andy
