Vintage Baseball to be Played at Parkers Crossroads

DATELINE — PARKERS CROSSROADS, Tennessee 

The Parkers Crossroads Battlefield Park will host the first home game of the Resolute of Jackson Vintage Base Ball Club on Saturday, August 1, at 12:00 noon. The game will be played on the southeast corner of the battlefield at the intersection of Wildersville Road and Highway 22. Admission is free, and the public is invited to attend.

Join the Resolute of Jackson during their inaugural season as the Parkers Crossroads Battlefield becomes a new venue for the Tennessee Association of Vintage Base Ball. The Resolute will face Mountain City in an exciting contest played under authentic Civil War-era rules.

Experience baseball as it was played in the 1860s—wooden bats only, no gloves, no spittin', no cussin', and no slidin'! Players compete using the customs and sportsmanship of the era, providing an entertaining and educational look at America's pastime.

Spectators and prospective future ballists are warmly welcomed. The Resolute is always looking for new players interested in learning and participating in vintage baseball.

Limited shade and seating will be available. Visitors are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and portable shade for use in designated spectator areas.

Come experience West Tennessee's first Vintage Base Ball Club as it plays on the hallowed grounds of the Parkers Crossroads Battlefield, where history comes alive both on the battlefield and on the ball field.
