With the Addition and unveiling of the Knickerbocker Experience this year you will have an amazing time at the Gettysburg Tournament and festival
The new Knickerbocker Experience team will be slated to play in 4 base ball games on hallowed grounds of Gettysburg this year and recreate the team that started it all with 21 rules first written down in 1845 to launch the game of base ball on the road to what we have today. On that team Was Daniel Lucius Adams (Or Doc Adams as we know him), Who hand wrote the first laws of base ball in the year of 1857. He also created the Short Stop position and set the base paths at 90’ and argued for the fly game and was president of the club and Nestor of baseball as he directed the game and its growth. (There is more to Doc and the foundational fathers of the game that I am not fully detailing here.
And Next we have our Connecticut Base Ball club going down to challenge the strongest teams in the county on the field that helped to preserve the Union. We play by the spirit of the times and this game is often call “Civil war era base ball” . President Abraham Lincoln gave his Gettysburg Address near where we play these very special games
Any how to all those looking for meaning full and significant activities this summer you are invited to come see and or play in the Gettysburg Festival. The Town of Gettysburg will welcome you back into history to learn and understand some of what the people of the era went through and sacrificed for in order to create a better Union.
