Edison and Ford Winter Estates will host its annual vintage “base ball” game at historic Terry Park in Fort Myers on March 21, at 11 a.m. The vintage team roster includes the Awkwards Vintage Base Ball of Central Florida, Bradenton Shamrocks Vintage Base Ball Club, and the Fort Myers Vagabonds Base Ball Club (the Fort Myers home team).
Vintage base ball (baseball in the 1860s, was spelled with two words) is played by 1860s rules, which include using wooden bats, no gloves and lemon peel baseballs. Players will wear vintage uniforms and the umpires will call the shots the way they did during the time period.
Admission to the vintage base ball game at Terry Park will be $5 for adults; children 18 and under will be admitted free. Tickets may be purchased at Terry Park on game day. The park is at 3410 Palm Beach Blvd., in Fort Myers…
