Participants enjoy vintage game of ‘base ball’ at Appomattox Court House NHP
APPOMATTOX, Va. -- The Appomattox Court House National Historical Park held its annual Civil War era “base ball” games on Saturday, July 6. The games were played according to the rules and style of the sport (now known as baseball) that were in effect in the sports’ early days. Historic rules include that the batter is out if a hit ball is caught on one bounce and also by “soaking” (hitting the runner with the ball between bases). The ball was much softer than it is today, and mitts were not used. The national park provided period-correct bats and balls to participants.
