The baseball field where it’s always 1858
As baseball becomes more unrecognizable under modern rule changes, some are holding onto the past.This Saturday, October 5, the Chicago Salmon will play the Milwaukee Grays at 1:00 PM, for our last game of the year.
We will travel to Doctors Park just north of Milwaukee at 1870 E Fox Lane, Fox Point, WI. See the attached map.
- Once you get in the parking lot it should be pretty easy to find. They're in field area 3 on the map.
- If you have some time before or after the game, the park is right on the bluffs of Lake Michigan, with hiking trails that go down to the beach. Just north of us is also the Schlitz Audubon Center, which has some great hiking/walking trails and also beach access along the lake.
Strike well and no injuries!
On Sunday, September 29th, at 1:00 PM, the Chicago Salmon will play a nine inning match against our friends the Somonauk Blue Stockings.
The Blue Stockings have moved their ball field to a different location in Community Park.
Once you get to Depot Street off of US 34 you should be about 4 short blocks from the Somonauk Community Park. The park is past the first stop sign but not past the second one as you head south on Depot Street. It is on the right side of the street just before Depot Street, Gage Street and Hoxie Street come together. If you get to the second stop sign you will have missed the park entrance. You will pass the Village Hall and Bank on the way.
Or use 500 S Depot St, Somonauk, IL 605521
Thanks to Thomas Reybuck of the House of David for photos of the Chicago Salmon at Napannee vs the Elkhart Railroaders.
Travel to Oak Park, Sunday, September 22, when the Oak Park River Forest Museum sponsors the Chicago Salmon playing a nine inning 1858 Rules game of vintage base ball against the Prairie Chicken Base Ball Team of McLean County. We will be at at Lindberg Park, 1151 N. Marion Street, Oak Park, IL. The children will be given a chance to practice their hitting skills. Also meet Abraham Lincoln played by Kevin Wood.
Unfortunately due to a full afternoon forecast for rain this event was cancelled. We are working on rescheduling it in 2020.
