Hi Brian, Mudville is definitely in, even if we know of an older field in Holliston. I'll send you info. We are definitely 1861 vintage. John ... From:...
Hi Brian: I see from the preliminary event schedule that you may be at Belchertown for a match with Sandy Hook. Please stop by the Confederate camp and say...
Hey, Yup we are all set to play the Sandy Hooks. I will be getting there pretty early to set up the field and I know Ray Shaw wants to take some pictures, so...
Hey everyone, Below is an email I got from the people in Clinton about an announcer. I told her it might be tough to get someone who has never seen vintage ...
Hello Brian, The Westfield Wheelmen can send 2. If you need more we can do that too. Because we are an '86 club, do you want us there for the '86 game only or...
I still do not know the final numbers or the number of teams that will be sending people. I have a general idea but already know some teams have backed out and...

Brian, The Hartford Senators have a game against the Hens that day but it looks like we should be able to send 2 representatives for the 1886 game. Thanks ...
Friends, I am going to take a position on the new "pancake" mitt that is becoming popular among 1886 clubs. I have personally seen the guts and grit that has...
Hello Game Hens, What do you consider pancake mitt. Do you have a photo to review? I know we've been down this road before but I see some teams using 1930s...
Hello NE Vintage ballists, I think what Blue is referring to is the glove that is circular and looks like turn-of-the-century pillow mitt with out the pillow....
I am by no means an expert on catching and have only done it a handful of times but I would have to say that the pancake glove probably shouldn't be used when...
Brian, I can tell you the modern/crouch style is used because of the speed and the requested zone. If the striker requests low zone (about 70-80% of the time),...
I too have seen images of catchers back up from the plate when there are no runners on base. They probably came up when there was 2 strikes on the batter, it...
Well I dont really mean standing either. If you look at photos/ drawings from back then catchers were not in a crouch they had knees bent hands extended. If...
