National Park Service staff members play "base ball" by 1860s rules.Photo Gallery
Two vintage “base ball” teams take a step back in time when they stage an 1860s Vintage Base Ball Game today.
The teams will re-enact games played at Fort Vancouver 140 years ago. The game, then written as two words, will be played with 1860s rules. Those rules included the pitcher throwing underhand, the batter telling the pitcher where to throw, and the fielders playing without gloves.
When: 6 tonight.
Where: Parade ground, near the intersection of Evergreen Boulevard and Fort Vancouver Way, Vancouver.
The game is one of several weekend entertainment options in Clark County and Portland. Others include a concert from local group 5 Guys Named Moe and the Battle Ground Harvest Days celebration.
