Well I went today and was swept back in time.

I really wish I did not have to work today. That is something I would have enjoyed and to be honest possibly more than an airshow. I love baseball and sports history. Those pictures are AMAZING!!!!!!!!

Thanks, only a few out of 373 I took. Haven't had time to go through all of them but I am sure there are a few better. The rules are simple yet brutal, the only one wearing a glove is the catcher and it isn't much. Foul balls can be an out if caught off one bounce. Some teams came from Rhode Island and Connecticut.

A very enjoyable time. They are scheduled to play again next weekend.
