Copper City Classic Vintage Base Ball Tournament (This weekend)

This is a two day tournament held this weekend at Warren Ballpark in Bisbee (Corner of Arizona Street and Ruppe Road. Bisbee, Arizona 85603 ) Skins and myself will be playing for the Glendale Gophers (having been traded for a bag of balls, a protected draft pick, and a tobacco crop). You'll probably be seeing pics and recaps in this space in the near future. Here's the official blurb:

The Friends of Warren Ballpark a non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds to restore the historic Warren Ballpark is sponsoring the Copper City Classic Vintage Base Ball Tournament. What better place to watch a 150 year old version of Base Ball than in a 101-year old park, the Warren Ballpark in Bisbee, Arizona, the "real Field of Dreams". The tournament features base ball played by 1860 rules in period uniforms and features four teams from the Arizona Territories Vintage Base Ball League.
