Vintage Baseball
On Saturdays in the summer, a small group of vintage baseball aficionados gathers at a field in Colt Park in Hartford. They play a couple of games, one with rules from 1862 and another with rules from 1865.

A nice vintage treatment of these vintage people playing vintage baseball.
That makes me wonder if the original name of The Village People was meant to be The Vintage People?
Well, you never know!
I wonder what difference there was between the rules of 1862 and 1865? I should remember, but it's been so long ago!
Maybe you could cop one of those caps for your golf outings?
I always forget about the versatility and attractiveness of B& W. Perfect for this photo. Yes, I think you'd look fetching in one of those hats.
Vintage aficionados = b&w shot. Clever, Jack! :-)
Nice black and white image, Jack.
Really nice Jack.
Great choice to use B & W for this subject. Changes in the rules of baseball in 1862 - 65? Didn't they have enough on their minds with the Civil War?
And they did not come up with the idea of designated hitter for more than 100 more years.
What a great activity. Neat photo.
Darryl and Ruth :)
What a perfect B&W capture for the day, Jack! I love it! Like slipping back in time and all with the click of a camera! Enjoy your weekend!
They take their "vintage" game very seriously I see, right down to the costumes.
That's awesome! Nice b&w shot too.
How fun! I love those uniforms and the picture looks perfect in black and white.
I agree with everyone - the B & W is perfect for this shot! I'm going to have to check out the old BB rules.
That's a new one for me. I've seen groups recreating all manner of historic things, but not sports. And 1862 vs. 1865 rules sounds pretty esoteric!
Nice action shot and the b&w is effective/
Nice use of B/W, Jack. They obviously take their sport very seriously.
Great iniciative. No doubt this picture must be posted in black and white. Did you try the sepia?
Totally agree with all above Jack, this shot HAD to be in B&W and I know how much you love B&W haha!
They look good.
