Baseball on Long Island in 1857-1876


On Thursday, March 7th, 2013, the Seaford Historical Society hosted an excellent presentation on Old Time Baseball on Long Island, featuring members of the vintage baseball team New York Mutuals.   The New York Mutuals played ball from 1857- 1876 on Long Island. Come learn how the rules differed and see firsthand the uniforms they wore back then.   The current players recreate the style of play from when the Mutuals were National League champions in 1870.
