In 2009, the Shoeless Joe Jackson Museum in Greenville, SC and the Ty Cobb Museum in Royston, GA began a annual tradition of a Vintage Base Ball doubleheader between teams made up of volunteers and fans of each Museum. If you are interested in playing for the Shoeless Joe team in 2013 as the games return to Shoeless Joe Jackson Park in Greenville, please click here to email our Coaches and they will reply to you with all the details. The 2013 games will be played on SATURDAY, SEP 21!! Click here for Vintage Baseball Rules and Terminology.
The 2012 games were played on Saturday, September 8 at Ty Cobb field near the Ty Cobb Museum in Royston, Georgia. Despite our first rain-out ever early in the second game of the doubleheader, all players and fans enjoyed our wonderful day of baseball and fellowship between our two museums. The 2011 Vintage Games were held in Greenville on October 22 at the Shoeless Joe Jackson Baseball Park at Brandon Mill, where a young Joe Jackson began his baseball career. The weather was spectacular and all players and fans enjoyed a wonderful day of "base ball" and fellowship. Click here for Highlights and Photos from our 2011 games.
