Vintage Base Ball Game

Delaware County, New York is home to three different vintage base ball teams that play under the Delaware County Vintage Base Ball Association. The Delaware County Vintage Baseball Association offers opportunities to enjoy playing and watching nineteenth-century style baseball while connecting new generations to the rich tradition of baseball in Delaware County towns dating back to 1825. Vintage base ball (spelled more often as two words until 1896) is a loose term for amateur baseball played by the various rules, customs, and equipment of the 1800's. Men and women play with wooden bats and no gloves (in some cases) and period accurate attire to replicate the game as it was played during its formative years. Each of our Clubs are members of the Vintage Base Ball Association. Grab a blanket or chair and enjoy a game. All games are free. Times and games are subject to change, can be influenced by weather. We suggest checking the individual team website or Facebook page for the latest information.
