The Sunman Vintage Baseball Showcase will take place on Saturday, June 1st at the Sunman Community Park. The featured game will be the 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings vs Cincinnati Buckeyes.

The Cincinnati Red Stockings are set to ignite the dusty base paths
of Sunman, Indiana with a showdown against their friendly foes, the
Cincinnati Buckeyes, in an exhibition game brimming with
nostalgia and old-school flair. Playing ball by the vintage rules of the
1860s, especially the revolutionary guidelines of 1869, these spirited
ballplayers channel the legacy of the renowned Cincinnati Baseball
Club. With echoes of the past ringing through the air and history
whispering tales of undefeated seasons and daring challenges across
the nation, the stage is set for a truly retro-inspired clash on the
diamond.
