Greetings
Ballists & Cranks Alike!
The
Seventh Annual Queen City Invitational Base Ball Festival
will be held on Saturday, June 14, 2008 at the grounds
of the Heritage Village & Museum in Sharon Woods Park,
Cincinnati, Ohio. This festival, which is hosted by
the Cincinnati
Vintage Base Ball Club, will again demonstrate the
fine sport and atmosphere of base ball as it was originally
played, for the education and entertainment of all
who wish to spectate. Teams from as far away as Boston,
Mass., Chicago, Ill., Canton, Oh., and Huntington, Ind.,
will play our two home teams, the 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings
and
the
Cincinnati
Buckeyes,
in
an exhibition
of base ball as it was played in the year of the first
all-professional team, the undefeated Red Stockings.
