Part game, part show, part history lesson and all fun, the Flemington Neshanock and the Talbot Fairplays Base Ball Club of Maryland played a competitive match of bare-handed baseball, wearing period uniforms and using rules from 1864 or 1873, on June 24 at Greenway Meadows Park in Princeton. The event was presented by the Historical Society of Princeton, the eighth year that the society has had the game. The event also included a short lesson on the history of the game and a recitation of “Casey at the Bat” by Brad “Brooklyn” Shaw, shown here regaling fans with his stories.
