1880s-era Baseball Game

During the annual picnic festivities taking place at Will Rogers Birthplace Ranch on Saturday, May 20, the Will Rogers Memorial Museum’s (WRMM) baseball team will be conducting an 1880s-era baseball game, starting at 2 p.m.

Experience how America’s pastime began! Bring the family and your gloves to learn about the history of baseball while watching a 19th–century-style baseball game.

If you like “round ball,” have a good throwing arm, love to hit dingers, or, just in general have baseball fever, consider participating as a player on the WRMM baseball team! Contact “Bats Masterson” (a.k.a.) Bart Taylor at bart.taylor@history.ok.gov, or call 918-343-8127.
