1860's Vintage Base Ball
About The Wahoo Base Ball Club of Royal Oak
The Wahoo Base Ball Club of Royal Oak, MI plays The Game of Base Ball as it was played in the early 1860's. We play in the gentlemanly manner that was common of the era. The sport was played with no gloves and wood bats. Before contracts and before PED's men played purely for the love of the game. That is what we try to bring to the field when we play.
