Lansing Brickmen Vintage Base Ball Team at Autumn Fest, 2014.
Action at the Old Ball Game!
Lansing Historical Society will host its Picnic of the Past on Saturday, May 9, 2015 from 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. at Lan-Oak Park, 180th & Arcadia, Lansing. The highlight of the event will be the Vintage Base Ball Match between the Lansing Brickmen and the Munster Centennials which begins at noon. Vintage Base Ball uses the rules of 1858. No mitts are used and the player is out if the ball is caught on the first bounce. In this gentlemanly game there is no stealing bases!
There will be a D.J. with dance contests, food by Lynnie-Ques, displays by local historical societies and old-time cars. Come in the costumes of your favorite era of the past. Prizes for the best costumes will be awarded. Come out and join the fun!
