Vintage Base Ball at Vulture City Ghost Town

About

Vintage base ball is the game as it was played in the 1860s. Players catch the ball with bare hands, wear old-style uniforms, and follow rules from more than 150 years ago. A ball caught on one bounce still counts as an out. The Tombstone Base Ball Club takes on the Higley Haymakers on a dusty field inside a real ghost town. Before the game, an old west gunfight show opens the day. Between innings, visitors can try gold panning, watch a blacksmith at work, grab food, and wander the old mining buildings. The day mixes sports with history, so it works well for families, baseball fans, and anyone curious about the old west. Kids can watch up close and learn how the game started. Fans are called cranks here, and cheering with a hearty huzzah is part of the fun.
