Come out and watch a friendly match between the Champaign Clippers Vintage Base Ball Club and the McLean County Prairie Chickens!
Vintage base ball (yes, baseball was two words in the 1850s) is an effort to continue the style of play original to the game. No gloves, underhand pitching, and bound outs (a catch off one bounce for an out) are just a few of the unique rules from 1859, which is the year the Clippers honor through their game rules.
The first game of a doubleheader will start at 11am.
Games are played on the south end of Weaver Park in Urbana, just behind Dr. Preston Williams Elementary School at 2102 East Washington Street.
Free to attend and fun for the whole family! The Clippers are also always looking for new players, so if you’re interested, come check it out!
