The Ontarios Against The Excelsiors Circa 1873

It was a fantastic time except I had to assist a crank (fan) after a keener and later mortified muffin (person of little experience and skill) let a bat fly into the stands. All is well and you can rest assured that the ER at the Samaritan Medical Center is dandy and the Sacketsonians are extremely kind…but, other than a wicked warm-up of many solid contacts, I missed playing our game but still caught a bit of the senior game between the Sackets Harbor Ontarios and the Rochester Excelsiors. High neato quotient nonetheless and greater plans are in the works.

    Looks like great fun…but what’s with the shoes. Didn’t the players of the era wear baseball boots or some such?

    It was all made more real by being on TV.

    Wait, it sounds like you got hurt in the warm-up and spent most of the game at the hospital????

    Not me but a near and dear or two had a bat accidentally introduce itself into the stands. All are well but a stitch or two was involved.
