Great stuff Gary. More pics of the game if you have them.
Did you go full 1860's? Front foot pointed towards the pitcher, hands separated, 48" bat? Rob M |

I've tried to post more pictures, but most won't upload. They must be too large.
We played with a pitcher's box 45' from the striker's line x 49' from the striker's line making it 6'x4'. Each batter was required to straddle the striker's line. You couldn't over run first base and foul balls could be caught on one bounce and be an out. Of course, the fair foul hit was used. This was Barnes' signature advantage. I was told the rules we used were from 1868. That's me pitching. Last edited by GaryPassamonte; 08-25-2017 at 10:07 AM. |

Great job Gary! Barnes absolutely deserves inclusion in the HOF as one of the dominant players of his era.
