Vintage Baseball in Newtown, PA

In America we celebrated Memorial Day yesterday,
a day to remember those who served and sacrificed
for our country.

We tend celebrate all thing Americana too.
So of course, a vintage baseball game was in order.


The blue team is the home team,
 the Newtown Strakes.


The visiting team is in red,
they are the Flemington Neshanock. 


Here is a call for YOU to decide.
I will tell you how it was called after the photo.


My 'through the fence photo'
provides 21st century technological evidence...
not that they had anything like that in 1863! 
I guess the 'home team' won't want to see that shot,
 cause it was called an out.

Hi Rebecca,
Love those old uniforms!
I called out - too bad the ref saw differently.

Rebecca, the pleasure was all mine. And it continues each time I see these great action shots. Mine pale in comparison.
