Love baseball? Love
history? Step back into yesteryear when the Bergen County Historical Society
hosts an old-time game in the meadow at Historic New Bridge Landing in River
Edge. Featuring the Flemington Neshanock verses the Enterprise Club
of New Bridge.
Experience the crack of
bat, the cheers and jeers of the cranks, and baseball the way great-grandpa saw
it, when these two teams play with 19th century rules, equipment, and uniforms
in an open field in games that count! A great way for the family to enjoy
America’s game in a beautiful historic setting!
To watch for Casey at the Bat at this first big event in The Meadow, make sure to bring a hat, blanket or chair, and sunscreen.
