Join us for Vintage Base Ball at Fort Hays State Historic Site in Hays!

This game is played with original rules from 1867. The Post Nine from Fort Hays, the Westerns Club from Topeka, and the Colorado vintage base ball teams will face each other in three games. The teams will be wearing uniforms styled from the 1860s to 1880s. An umpire will preside and an interpreter will help explain the rules of the game. There are several differences in vintage base ball from today’s games. Most teammates play without gloves and the ball is softer. No one strikes out, so everyone gets a hit.

All ages are welcome. Games begin at 10 a.m., 1 p.m., and 3 p.m.
10 a.m. – 3 p.m. Saturday, March 30, 2019.
