Our local vintage baseball team, the Tippecanoe Canal Jumpers have been invited to Ohio Village in Columbus on Sunday, September 5 to play in three tournament-style matches.

Canal Jumper Match Times and Opponents

12:00 vs. St. Louis Perfectos

2:00 vs. Pittsburg Franklins

4:00 vs. Wyandotte Ghostriders

The Canal Jumpers have never played these three teams, so be prepared for some good spirited, gentlemanly match play.

This is a family-friendly event at the Ohio Historical Society so bring your family and friends and expect a festival atmosphere. Sunday will be a day of family fun marking the largest gathering of vintage base ball clubs in the country. More than 25 clubs from across the Midwest and beyond square off on fields around the Ohio Village to celebrate base ball “the way it was meant to be played.” No gloves, no spitting, no swearing-no kidding! Family, food, and fun in the sun close out the Muffins’ season at home. Admission: FREE
