Looks like great fun.
Watching from South Holland :)
On Sunday, August 25th three members of the Chicago Salmon brought our 1858 Rules VIntage Base Ball game to the Nelson Pioneer Farm in Iowa.
Rob Pipes Panknin, Paul Scooter Zeledon, and Gary The Professor Schiappacasse shared their love for the vintage game of base ball with the spectators, and family members that participated in our nine inning game.
We were also fortunate to have Richard "Flash" Rindt from the Oskaloossa Herald sports desk file a news report on the day's activity. "Flash" also played ball with us for a couple of innings.
Check out the link to his report:
