Brian Sheehy is planning a meeting in mid-April for VBB players to discuss themes in the evolution of base ball in the pre-professional era.  For details on the Newbury MA mini-conference, contact Brian at historyball@yahoo.com.

An April conference in Newbury MA on early base ball is being organized by Digger Brian Sheehy.  Players from the expanding number of VBB clubs in eastern New England will comprise a good share of conference attendees.

“I can read all about variant games in books and on the net, but I find I don’t really understand them until I play them,” reports Brian Sheehy.  Brian teaches “Sports of the Past” to upperclassmen at North Andover High School, north of Boston.  Among the safe-haven games the students have studied (and played) are Knickerbocker rules base ball, the Massachusetts game, wicket, cricket, stoolball, and rounders.  He is thinking about trying the ancient Russian game of lapta, and perhaps Irish rounders, in the spring.
