CHESAPEAKE VINTAGE BASE BALL TEAM

Chesapeake Nine Plays Vintage Base Ball 1864 Rules at Jerusalem Mill
Team Seeks Additional Members to Participate in 19th Century Games
Kingsville, MD – The Chesapeake Vintage Base Ball Team plays a regular schedule of games in and around the greater Baltimore, MD and Washington, DC area. Our home field is Jerusalem Mill Village located at the intersection of Jerusalem and Jericho Roads in Harford County, Maryland, amid the pristine scenery of the Gunpowder Falls State Park. Throughout the year, the village is the site of an amazing range of events and activities that bring history to life.
The goal of the Chesapeake Nine is to interpret the sport of baseball as it was played during the American Civil War era. Our vintage base ball living history program offers the opportunity for hands on displays of authentically reproduced uniforms, equipment, rules and sportsmanship by participating in base ball games played according to the customs of the 1864 time period.
We are seeking additional members of all ages, genders and skills to take on various roles including players, score keeper and umpire, equipment manager and side line associates in period attire. We are an all volunteer organization that provides complete training and support to get started in an exciting and growing sport. Visit our website and contact us today for more information about joining our team or simply attending one of our games. We welcome your inquiries about vintage base ball, spelled as two words in the 19th Century!
