The Walker Tavern Wheels vintage "base ball" club opened its 2014 season May 10 with a home game against the Detroit Early Risers. The Wheels were victorious in the opener, beating the Early Risers by a respectable score of 28-3. Base ball games, played according to 1860s rules, are just part of the fun this summer at Walker Tavern Historic Site, located in Cambridge Junction Historic State Park near Brooklyn, Michigan.
This is the seventh season for the Wheels. The season runs through Aug. 30. Many of this season's games will be played on Sundays, in conjunction with the popular Walker Tavern Farmers Market.
"We play 'base ball' by vintage 1860s rules, which means no gloves and wool uniforms in July," said player Jim Terwilliger. "We have a loyal fan base that not only roots for us at home games but follows us to the away games as well."
The complete season schedule and other team information is available at http://ift.tt/1msIv73. The team is sponsored by the Friends of Walker Tavern.
