I've never seen anything like that. I didn't know there were leagues like that around. The uniforms are crazy.
ReplyDeleteGreat article, Mike. You actually beat me to this one. We have some vintage base ball teams south of us, but I wasn't able to get us to a game this summer. Maybe next summer I'll get the kids to go. They play by 1880 rules and use the old bats and balls. It's really amazing.
