Let me through this out there as a newcomer. What is allowed during games with player substitutions. Is there open substitutions? Can player come out and...
Hey Dan, Great news about your first practice. We have been having practices for about a month now- they were supposed to be in the gym but it has been so nice...
In my experience, every vintage team handles substitutions differently. I don't think any team adheres to the strict letter of the law and to strictly ...
Dan, Since there is no governing body or vintage league by-laws there really are no set standard of rules to go by. This can be good and this can also cause...
I agree with Chris. We are out there to have fun, so if we have 12 or so guys, we try to get everyone in at some point. This is one area that I think there...

More questions from the Wheelmen. What is the word on chewing tobacco and pine tar. Are they allowed in 1886 play?...
Not only are they allowed in our games (Cornish Game Hens of Providence), they are encouraged. This is my opinion and I don't know how anyone else feels. ... ...
The Granite have the same position. The pine tar is for safety's sake and the chew is just so damn good. Remember Copenhagen has been around since 1822 and...
The Simsbury Taverneers use pine tar for safety's sake. We did have a bat slip out of a player's hand in 2004 and hit a spectator in the face. We don't want...
I would be very interested in putting together a list of individuals willing to serve (in "authentic" garb) as umpires for vintage base ball matches we play in...
Duncan, I'll check with my umpires and see if they are interested. Also, the ELMS would like to play a game in Simsbury if you could send me some open dates....
Gentlemen, I just wanted everyone to know that the NH Granite vbbc have elected new co-captains, Brian Prusak and Mike O'Connor. All on field activities and...
On behalf of the Essex Base Ball Club/ Waterbury Connors I would like to thank all involved with the Pittsfield Tournament. We played two very good games on...
Brian, On behalf off all the "Elms" players and management we would like to thank you for coming all the way to Pittsfield to play in Hisoric Wahconah Park. I...
Hey Paul, Again all of the Essex and Waterbury guys had a great time and if you do it again we would love to attend, and Jim Wigren told me that you were busy...
Brian, Thanks for your input. I want Vintage base ball to get their due recognition. Terry Bishop and one other player have mentioned that they would like to...
Congratulations to all, on a great weekend of base ball! A huge "Huzzah" to Paul Procopio and Terry Bishop for putting it all together. The Senators enjoyed...

Fellow Ballists, Has anyone seen this glove or perhaps use this glove. It looks ideal for 1880s catching and it is a Nokona so the quality should be good. I ...
I am using a 1930s, with the web cut. I looked at that one you used but was not sure of the quality of the leather. I have the Akadema fingerless glove for...
It looks real nice but it has a 1" web that would need to be removed. Chris "Grit" Moran Captain & Catcher, Hartford Senators Vintage Base Ball Club...
What time is the game scheduled to start? The Hartford Senators and Providence Gamehens have a game scheduled for that day but would like to be able to...
This is what we are using now. It was expensive but our catchers say it is worth every penny. Healthy hands and happy catchers are worth the price. The ring...
Just because Im still not positive about the teams I dont really have a time yet. It looks (I could be wrong) like there will be enough teams to play both 1861...
Gentlemen, This is one area ov VBB that really needs some help. At least in our neck of the woods..(New England) There's nothing worse in VBB than an umpire...
Only being exposed to 1880's two or three times myself I was surprised this weekend (not to criticize) in Pittsfield when umpires were to the side of the...
Gentlemen, I couldn't agree with Grit any more. I was very frustrated at times last year when umpires made terrible ball and strike calls because they were at...
