Here's a sneak peek from the walk thru at Center Field for the Old-Time Baseball Game, with players from the Police and Fire Departments, Honor Guards, Lexington Baseball Managers, and the Essex Ball Club.
GAME ON!! The Lexington 300th Anniversary team WILL bring you Old-Time Baseball today, May 26 - while adjusting for the weather…
We know how much people have put into their plans to attend the game, play in the game, and cheer on the players. We're doing everything to make sure the game is safe, fun & as dry as possible. We know that players in the 1860s would carry on -- and this is all about getting that old-time Lexington spirit out on the field & in the stands!
