Yesterday, I went to watch a reenactment of the Battle of Manassas (aka Bull Run) commemorating the 150th anniversary of the battle. The reenactment was a lot of fun.
Following the reenactment, I went to watch how an era accurate baseball game. It was called Base Ball back then and the rules are all funky compared to present day baseball rules. The game itself was a mix between softball and current baseball. The pitcher (hurler in Base ball terms) had to throw the ball underhand to where the batter (Striker) wanted the ball. If the ball was caught in the air, it was an out. If the ball was caught after one bounce, it was an out as well. It was a lot of fun to watch, almost enough to entice me to join a club.
