1884-style baseball in Roslindale

Paul Friedmann took in a baseball game between the Boston Union Vintage Base Ball Club and the Providence Grays at Fallon Field in Roslindale yesterday.

Friedmann watched their first match, played according to 1884 rules - in which none of the fielders, save the catcher, wears a glove. After they were done, the were scheduled to play a game based on 1864 rules.

If you're looking for more, I know about a game played in August up in Newbury, during the Fiber Revival at the Spencer Peirce Little Farm:

Vintage Baseball:
11:00 am to 4:00 pm
Lynn Live Oaks vs. Portsmouth Rockinghams
Lowell BBC vs. Neshanock Base Ball Club of Flemington

Stay for the Vintage Base Ball Fiber Revival Cup, a triple-header with the coveted gold yarn trophy at stake! Cheer on your favorite team as the Lynn Live Oaks play the Portsmouth Rockinghams and the Lowell BBC takes on out-of-towners Neshanock Base Ball Club of Flemington. These teams take the field playing with 1860s rules. Snacks, baseballs, and cards are available for purchase. Grass field seating: bring blankets and lawn chairs. No reserved seating. In partnership with the Newburyport Spinners Guild, the Essex Base Ball Association, and Ipswich Ale Brewery.

There's probably other games during the summer, but this is one I'm definitely aware of.
