Vintage Baseball at Ohio Village Various Dates

Since 1981, the Muffins, one of the oldest vintage baseball teams in the United States, have donned their striped wool caps at Columbus’ Ohio Village to compete in games of 1860s-style baseball (underhand pitching was just one of the rule variations). You can catch the Muffins and the Diamonds (the women’s team), Labor Day weekend at Ohio Village during the 31st Ohio Cup Vintage Base Ball Festival where 30 teams will gather to entertain and educate. Both teams also play at Put-in-Bay on Sept. 10, and the Muffins face off against a squad of Ohio legislators on the Ohio Statehouse lawn on Sept. 28.
