Time: 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM Event Title: Vintage Base Ball match Event Description: The Hayes Presidential Center's vintage base ball club, the Spiegel Grove Squires, compete with the Akron Black Stockings in a match of 1860s-style base ball at Stan Hywet Hall, Akron. All equipment, uniforms, and rules follow those in place during base ball's early years (when the game was spelled as two words, not one.) The Squires are sponsored by KF Construction & Excavating, LLC.
