Bringing History to Life

Our mission is to honor America's national pastime by transporting players and spectators back in time to relive the glory and challenges of base ball as it was played in the 1800s through a commitment to historical accuracy, authentic match play, and period-appropriate uniforms and equipment. We aim to foster camaraderie, preserve the traditions of baseball, and celebrate the sporting excellence of 1800s American baseball.  By recreating the era's customs and values, we seek to educate, entertain, and ensure that the heritage of this beloved sport endures for generations to come

The member clubs of the National Association of Historic Base Ball Clubs follow the rules and customs and maintain the appearance of the base ball clubs of a particular year in the 1800s. All clubs are so certified by the Association's board.
