The Ohio Village Muffins, the first team in the nation to play regular seasons of 1860s-style baseball, will play a game at 2 p.m. Sunday on the VMI Parade Ground in Lexington.
The team, formed in 1981 by the Ohio Historical Society, plays all its games by rules established in 1858. Stealing and bunting are not permitted, and the ball is delivered by a "thrower" to the area requested by the "striker." Players also may not spit or swear, and a batted ball caught on one bounce is an out.
Lt. Col. Keith Gibson, executive director of museum programs at VMI, is assembling a team to play the Muffins. Gibson will use members of his staff and the New Market Battlefield Historical Park staff, as well as VMI cadets and Roanoke Times & World-News columnist Jack Bogaczyk.
There will be no admission charge for the game.
