Cincinnati Buckeyes Cincinnati Buckeyes 1869 Vintage Base Ball Team Biggest differences? No gloves, of course! They weren't too popular yet in 1869.

The Cincinnati Buckeyes are a vintage base ball team that plays the game as it was played in 1869... the year their more famous historical rivals, the Cincinnati Red Stockings, became the first all-professional base ball team and the only one to go undefeated (with the help of some well-paid former Buckeye players). Today's Cincinnati Buckeyes were formed in 2001 to renew our rivalry with the Cinc

innati Red Stockings, and to help educate and entertain spectators by presenting the game as it was played 150 years ago. While our mission is to educate and entertain, it's also great exercise for some of the finest gentlemen athletes you'll ever experience. Pitching underhanded and "to the bat" is another big difference, with more emphasis on fielding than pitching. A fielder can catch a foul ball on the first bounce for an out, and fair/foul is determined by where it hits first. And in most vintage games, good sportsmanship is valued more than winning. Our home field is Dan Lyon Field, located at the Heritage Village Museum in Sharon Woods Park, just north of Cincinnati, OH. Heritage Village is a small collection of houses and other buildings from the time, further enhancing the feeling that you're really back in 1869. Please check out our coming events and come witness the Cincinnati Buckeyes in action at Heritage Village. Bring a picnic, bring a chair, and bring your heartiest "Huzzahs" for spectacular hits and plays, no matter which team you're rooting for. It's a great way to spend a Spring/Summer afternoon!

I am very sorry to have to inform you that Dave “Big Dog” Brooks passed away this afternoon.
He died peacefully, in no pain, with Laura at his side.
We have known it was coming for a few weeks now, but it still is difficult to accept.
Our club, and vintage base ball, lost our best friend today. Big Dog was always there when the club had a need. He was a great ambassador for the Vintage Base Ball Association. Nobody understands and appreciates how special vintage base ball is more than Big Dog. He will be missed by all who knew him, and, hopefully, remembered by many who didn't.
