The Cincinnati Vintage Baseball Club plays baseball in the style of the pastoral game as it was when the Reds became the first professional baseball team in 1869 — before gloves even were used — with faithfully recreated uniforms and equipment. The club features two teams named after the local rivals of the era, the 1869 Red Stockings and the Cincinnati Buckeyes. They both play spring through fall against other regional teams as well as a few games against each other at parks in the Tristate area with a home base (no pun intended) at Heritage Village in Sharon Woods. It’s a nice relaxing day out amongst the preserved historic buildings in Heritage Village with America’s pastime as it was. cincyvbb.com.
