I would guess they use a “dead” ball.

Wonder if you can still “burn” a player to get an out?

Wonder if spitballs are legal?

I never heard of the Arizona Vintage League-——but it sounds like a great way to spend a day.

If you want people to understand what you’re posting, this:

“Graca quickly learned that the Black Sox were part of the Arizona Territories Vintage Base Ball League; a collection of seven teams from Prescott to Bisbee and everywhere in between which features baseball rules from 1860 as established by the National Association of Base-Ball Players on March 14, 1860. That includes specific equipment and rules allowed. No gloves. A hand-sewn 1870s white lemon peel replica ball. Underhand pitching.”

is not how to introduce a subject.

None the less, I thank you for posting this and making known to us the existence of this league.

...Arizona Territories Vintage Base Ball players can’t wear Nikes.

Back then Nike was still only known as the Greek goddess of victory.

I think one could get around the underhand pitching rule — go submarine.

Shouldn’t they be the Black Stockings?
