Catching History

Flemington Neshanock first baseman, Dave “Illinois” Harris, hangs onto the ball to put out Diamond State’s John “Jefe” Medkeff last Saturday as the teams met at Valley Road in the Historical Society of Princeton’s third annual 19th century baseball event. The competitive match of bare-handed baseball featured vintage period uniforms and was played under rules from 1864 and 1873. Harris and Flemington went on to prevail 9-7 in the contest.
