What is a barnstorming baseball team? What does it mean to be a Barnstormer? Barnstorming is baseball at its best. Major league baseball is only a small part of America’s pastime: In the national conscience, the most pure form of baseball is played in small towns and cities, for fun. The name comes from one of the most common features of a small town landscape: Barns - Small towns have a lot of t

hem! Every town had their own club teams, and “barnstorming” big league teams would stop at small towns along the railroad lines and play the best local teams in a friendly game. Can you imagine how cool it must have been to be pitching for your hometown team, staring down Babe Ruth or Lou Gehrig on the very field you grew up playing on? Barnstorming connected bigger-than-life baseball stars to the game’s roots. Barnstorming’s heyday was between 1901through the early 1960’s, before the invention of television brought baseball into people’s living rooms in the mid 1950’s. Before the major leagues were racially integrated, it was also common for major league stars and negro league stars to play against each other in the months after the major league season ended. According to newspaper accounts of the day, these were some great games -- and there were over 100 of them before major league baseball was officially integrated with Jackie Robinson joining the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. Earlier in baseball history, players often needed to take jobs as mail carriers or police officers in the off-season to make a living for their family. Instead of taking an off-season job, barnstorming provided them the opportunity to travel to warmer climates during the cold winter months, get a family vacation in, meet some of their fans, and keep their skills sharp. Congratulations Barnstormers! You are carrying on one of the best parts of baseball history simply by taking your game on the road and having fun doing it. Play every game with joy and be proud.
