Ohio Channel Presents - 1860 Baseball - Ohio Village Muffins vs Capitol Cannons
The Ohio Legislature's team, The Capitol Cannons face off against the Ohio Village Muffins in a vintage base ball game on the west lawn of the Ohio Statehouse on May 22, 2012.
The Ohio Village Muffins are a group of enthusiastic lovers of the game who carry on the tradition of the sport as it was played in mid-nineteenth-century America. The first thing we tell people new to "vintage" base ball is that, historically, "base ball" was two words. This is an important because we like to do everything as the base ball players of 1860 did it: We play by their rules, dress in their uniforms, and exemplify their gentlemanly behavior.
