Over the last two years, I've had the privilege of getting to know a bunch of guys that love history and love baseball. There's only one problem: they spell it as "base ball" with two separate words. This spelling comes from how the game was spelled and played during the 1860's and 1870's. Join me for this brief introduction to Vintage Base Ball as told by guys with names like Joel "Flaps" Brant, Bob "Bonecrusher" Wettemann, "Fossil" Joe Christensen and Warren "Spider" Simpson.

  • I always enjoy going out to BGHV, shooting video for VBB and hanging out with all you folks. What a great past-time you are involved in. Next time you are in town and I'm shooting, we'll see what we can do to get a better shot of you playing the game.

  • The other team in this video is from Fort Concho in San Angelo, Texas.

  • I played at this tournament! I was Fort Concho's catcher for the first and third games (the catcher with his hat backwards in this vid isn't me, though; I never crouch that low).

    I think that's me batting at 0:38, and I'm the guy on the rightmost bench at 2:10.

  • Very nice footage and explanations of baseball history. Thanks for posting.
