A FANTASTIC opening day of our 2026 season! It was a breezy and sunny at the Smith Memorial Arch in Fairmount Park. The Brandywine Base Ball Club came out on top for our double-header but it was a solid day of base ball all around. BASE BALL SEASON IS A GO! Check us out at our next game on the road on April 19 at Old Bethpage Village in Long Island, NY!

Thank you NBC10 Philadelphia for coming out to our recent game against Brandywine Base Ball Club!

A group of Philadelphia area residents have taken a step back in time — all the way back to 1864 — to play the game of baseball as players would have more than 100 years ago. NBC10’s Matt DeLucia has the story.
