| What is Vintage Base
Ball?
Vintage base ball is a growing
phenomenon that has swept
the country from coast to coast
including Canada. It is teams
playing baseball by the rules
of a certain year in the 19th century. |
| What is the difference
between today's
baseball and vintage baseball?
The differences are too many to name but
the main one you
will notice when attending a game is
that the players don't
wear gloves (depending on the year
played). For more
differences go to our rules
page. |
| When did vintage base
ball start?
It began in 1980 at the Old Bethpage
Village Restoration
in Old Bethpage, New York as part of a
Civil War reenactment. |
| Where can I see a
game?
There well over 200 teams across the
country and Canada. The
New York Mutuals travel across the
country and play their home
games at the Old Bethpage Village
Restoration (see schedule) |
| Why the name Mutuals?
The Mutuals were an actual team that
played from 1857 to 1876
and were one of the original 8 teams in
the National League in 1876.

| How can I get the
Mutuals to my event?
The Mutuals help fairs, festivals, and
other events celebrate an
anniversary of their town or just give
people a chance to see how
the game was played. We can bring two
teams to your event or
outfit your players in authentic 19th
century uniforms. Dates fill up fast
