World Tournament of Historic Baseball at Dearborn’s Greenfield Village, Aug. 8-9

Step back in time to 1867 as vintage baseball clubs from around the country compete by the game’s early rules in the greatest two-day exposition of historic baseball ever seen!  And only at Dearborn’s Greenfield Village.

No gloves, bunting, sliding, cursing or spitting – this is baseball by 1867 rules! Catch the Lah-De-Dahs and Nationals playing 24 clubs in the 7th annual World Tournament of Baseball. Huzzah!

Clubs engage for two days in throwing, batting, and spitfire competition until only one is left to be declared champion of World Tournament of Historic Baseball. Add music food, drama and legendary sports artifacts and you’ve got everything that made baseball our great national pastime.

The World Tournament of Historic Baseball is free to members and free with Greenfield Village admission.

    As a member of The Henry Ford, I have attended the previous six World Tournaments (including the one where weekend downpours flooded Walnut Grove Field) and look forward to them each and every year. Whether you’re a baseball fan or not, there’s something refreshing about sitting on the grass near the field, sipping some Faygo and watching America’s game being played by men without multi-million dollar contracts. Go Lah-De-Dahs!
