The Boys of Summer are back! Head to Piscataway to the East Jersey Old Towne Village to see the 1859 Hoboken Base Ball Club play a vintage-rules match on Saturday, May 12. Time TBD. The team is in its seventh season: Seven seasons of catching balls without a glove. Seven seasons of promoting the history of the game by playing it using original rules. The club will showcase new historically accurate uniforms this season. The public is invited to come root, root, root for the home team! All ages are welcome. Admission is free.  Learn more about the venue here.
