One of the best parts of our inaugural season has been sharing days like this with our community.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Father’s Day match and helped make the afternoon so special. It was wonderful to see families and fans gathered around the game and the traditions that bring us together.

We can’t wait to see you at the next match.

The Rip Van Winkle Club are incredibly grateful to have shared the field with the Kingston Guards for our first official match.

To make our debut against such a respected club, in front of a great crowd of cranks, friends, families, dogs, and supporters, made for a truly special day.

While the result may not have gone our way, the match marked the beginning of something we are very excited about. We are looking forward to our inaugural season, growing the club, and bringing more vintage base ball to the Hudson Valley in the months ahead. Hurrah!

Thank you to everyone who came out to support us. We look forward to seeing you at a match soon.
