This Saturday, 10/17/09: The Legends of Baseball

Hello out there, baseball fans. This Saturday (October 17, 2009), at the San Jose Giants Stadium, there's an awesome baseball event going on. If you know me, you've probably heard me talk about the men's vintage baseball team (rules and equipment from 1886!) that I do photography for. They're the Stogies of the California Vintage Base Ball League. They're putting on a game against some former major leaguers including Gaylord Perry, Vida Blue, Reggie Sanders, Mike McCormick, Kevin Maas, Brady Anderson, Mike Remlinger, Darrell Evans, Bobby Grich and Rollie Fingers. There's also a Junior Giants clinic in the morning.Tickets are $20 - $30; the game starts at 3:00 but there are festivities beforehand. I can't think of a more all-American way to spend a day. For the ballplayers out there, it's pretty fascinating to see the differences in the rules and equipment (I would NEVER catch in a league like this...), the sportsmanship is outstanding, and seeing these old ballplayers playing together now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.if you're in the area, please pass this along to anyone you know who might be interested. Buy tickets and get more information at http://www.cvbbf.com. Hope to see you there--I'll be the one on the field with the camera...
