The Cincinnati Red Stockings and Cincinnati Buckeyes make the trip down the Ohio to meet in friendly strife at the Farnsley-Moreman Landing in Louisville this Sunday, July 8 starting at one o'clock.
The Red Stockings and Buckeyes are pillars of the Queen City vintage base ball community and those who go out to see them on Sunday are guaranteed a thrilling match.
The Bluegrass Barons, Kentucky's sole entrant in the Vintage Base Ball Association, make the trek north to Hamilton, Ohio for the Heart of Vintage Base Ball Tournament at Joyce Park this Sunday, July 8, with their first match at ten o'clock against the Losantiville Black Stockings.
The Backbottom 9, a stalwart aggregate of sluggers and sure-handed fielders based in Hamilton, graciously host this tournament each year and are the defending champions. Their hospitality, artistic creativity, and logistical brilliance ensure a good time for all.
If one wants to indeed see vintage base ball's heart, they need to see this tournament. It encapsulates all that is right in vintage base ball.
The Barons, Blackbottom 9, Losantiville Black Stockings, Rising Sun Belle Rivers, Cincinnati Vintage Base Ball Club, Eastwood Iron Horses, Moscow Monarchs, and Tippecanoe Canal Jumpers all vie for the honors of winning this tournament. All are strong clubs and sure contenders and the winning aggregate will have to go a long way in order to take the winner's laurels.
If you can get to either of these contests, you'll not regret in so doing. We in vintage base ball hope to see you there.
