Vintage Base Ball

The Atlantic Base Ball Club, a vintage base ball team, is playing its home games in Smithtown!

We are a vintage base ball team playing the game the way the rules were written in the 19th century.

We play from March-October at the Smithtown Historical Society grounds on Middle Country Road and use replica equipment and uniforms of the Atlantic Base Ball Club from Brooklyn.

We play matches against teams from all over the north-eastern United States and conduct presentations around Long Island to educate the public regarding the character, history, and growth of the game with attention to the historical context in which it originated and developed.
