After missing the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Spiegel Grove Squires are excited to return to playing vintage base ball this summer with regular- season games and a special home tournament.
The Squires are the vintage base ball team at the Hayes Presidential Library & Museums. They bring to life the sport in the 1860s, when it became organized with standard rules of play for clubs. Back then, base ball was spelled with two words.
The Squires are volunteers who have studied and learned the methods of play used in the 1860s, including playing bare-handed. Players are called ballists, and they wear period-style uniforms and adopt the language of 19th-century base ball during their matches, as games were called during the 1860s.
The team’s home games are at Spiegel Grove, the grounds of Hayes Presidential. Home games take place on the
lawn behind the Hayes Home, and admission to home games is free.
Attendees must wear face coverings and keep at least 6 feet of distance between themselves and other household groups.
The Squires are sponsored by Wright Leather Works.
