Went to Old Bethpage Village to watch a couple of teams playing "Old Time Baseball". They play using 1860s rules - no gloves, underhand fast pitch, if you catch a ball on one bounce, it counts as an out. It was a beautiful day, and a fun way to spend an afternoon.
The umpire goes over the ground rules with both teams before the start of the game.
A swing and a miss...
Without a glove, you use your whole body to catch the ball.
Always keep your eye on the ball!
Stealing second base!
Safe at home!
I really tried to resist, but even I had to give one of these a vintage look...
