Imagine my glee, then, when I read this article about the growing nationwide popularity of vintage baseball teams:
For members of the year-old vintage baseball team, it's about playing like it's 1858 -- when the sport was two words, "base ball," and the lightweight uniforms and protective mitts of today had not been invented.
Vintage baseball is part sport, part historical re-enactment for the amateur teams popping up all over the United States. Many, including the [Lockport, IL] Sleepers, are named after actual teams from back in the day, when games were both gentlemanly competition and social events to bring neighboring towns together.
I defy anyone to say vintage baseball isn't cool.

PB - Heh!
Mrs. Jackie Parkes - I know precious little about cricket, but I'm told that baseball is not entirely unlike cricket.
