Historic Base Ball® Games
Every Saturday & Sunday June 8-August 18, 2013. First pitch 1:30 p.m.
Greenfield Village
We think of our games – played by the 1867 rules – as real base ball. We’ve got pitchers, batters, home runs and plenty of thrill-a-minute action. Our grandstand is a grassy hillside shaded by dozens of massive trees. We have live 19th-century music. And it’s free with your Greenfield Village admission.
Stop by a game and enter to win Detroit Tigers tickets.
