World Tournament of Historic Base Ball

It's a championship like no other. Every summer, we commemorate Detroit's 1867 World Base Ball Tournament with a gathering of teams that play one outstanding weekend of America's game by the rules of 1867. It is unquestionably the nation's greatest two-day exposition of historic base ball, made even more meaningful this year as communities come together to honor America’s pastime during the country’s 250th anniversary.
