The Northfield Silver Stars will take on the Rochester Roosters in a match of vintage base ball Saturday, August 18, at 1 p.m. near the Rice County Historical Society, just east of the Ice Arena. The teams will play the game as it was played in the mid-19th century, using 1860 rules. They include no gloves, no called balls and strikes, no bunting, sliding or leading off. Balls caught on the bounce constitute an out or a “hand dead.” The game places a premium on good defense and hard-hit, low liners or “daisy cutters.” The game of the era also required certain decorum, so no spitting, swearing or betting will be allowed by players or fans. | ||
