National Silver Ball Tournament

What is this?

GCV&M offers one of the nation’s most comprehensive 19th-century base ball programs which includes the National Silver Ball Tournament in August and matches most Sundays, June – October. Watch as teams from the Midwest to the Northeast unpack their woolen uniforms, brown balls, and double-knobbed bats to play in Silver Base Ball Park, on the Great Meadow, and this year, a THIRD field on Upper Meadow (where the balloon used to be), simultaneously.
