Baseball – the way it was meant to be played.

Call us old-fashioned. But we think of our baseball games – played by the 1867 rules – as Real Baseball. No cussing. No spitting. No millionaire players. Just baseball. We’ve got pitchers, batters, home runs and plenty of thrill-a-minute action. But there are differences. 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.

Other than that, you might just mistake us for the big leagues.
