Take me out to the 1867 ball game

Away from the industry of modern sports and under the shade of walnut trees, teams of dedicated baseball players compete in the game as it was in 1867; no grandstands, no pitcher’s mound, only underhand pitches and optional but not optimal fingerless leather gloves. Greenfield Village’s own Lah-De-Dahs, will begin the season against the Bay City Independents and the Cleveland Blues.

 

1:30pm Saturday, June 13. Free with Greenfield Village ticket. The Henry Ford Museum, 20900 Oakwood Blvd., Dearborn. 313-982-6001.
