Before million dollar contracts, televisions,…and steroids, men played base ball for the fun of it. Now you can witness what a sporting event was like in Gettysburg in 1864. Six fine clubs from around the region will participate in an actual base ball tournament on July 17 & 18 at the Hickory Hollow Farm using the same rules and customs as well as the same style uniforms and equipment that would have been used in the Mid 19th century!
To put on such a tournament, we need the public’s help both from businesses and individuals. If you think this soon to be summertime tradition would be a great addition to Gettysburg, would you please consider becoming a patron of the tournament? Your $20 will go a long way to paying for the expenses of the event.
_____ In exchange for just your $20, you will receive:
- A preferred Parking Pass for the event
- A commemorative broadside of the event
- Email updates about the tournament
- A commemorative “ticket”
- Your name listed on our website which is www.gvbbt.wordpress.com
- Your name listed as a patron in our program
______ If you wish to contribute $50 as a Golden Patron, you will receive everything a patron does and:
- A complimentary event program
- A vintage ball that is just like the kind used in the event patterned after a ball from 1864
