Historic Base Ball^® Games
Every Saturday & Sunday June 7-August 17, 2014. First pitch 1:30 p.m.
Greenfield Village

Base Ball – the way it was meant to be played.

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.
