Vintage Base Ball
About the League
The Tennessee Vintage Base Ball Association brings history to life by recreating the spirit of 19th-century baseball. Playing by the rules, using the equipment, and wearing the attire of the 1860s, the league offers an authentic glimpse into the past. More than just a game, vintage base ball promotes sportsmanship, teamwork, and inclusivity—values often missing in modern athletics. Regardless of age, race, gender, religion, or physical ability, everyone is welcome to be part of this living history experience.
