About the Game
We play by the rules and customs of base ball as it was played in the 1860s.

Mountain Athletic Club Vintage Base Ball

Originally founded in 1895 by yeast-making brothers Julius and Max Fleischmann, the M.A.C. continues nineteenth-century rules base ball on the same hallowed “athletic grounds” at Fleischmanns Park where base ball legends once played.Hello fellow vintage ballists,
My name is Matt "Brandywine" Stone and I represent the West Coast for the VBBA.
I'm working on a project to determine the basic demographics of vintage ballists. I created a survey that is 100% anonymous and would love it if you could participate in it. Your names and email addresses will not be collected or stored in any way.
My goal is to analyze the data responses so that we can determine who plays vintage base ball. I would then (hopefully) publish our findings in a marketing research peer-reviewed journal that would put a lot of creedence on the validity of the project.
We can all then use the published article as fodder for any funding opportunities (sponsorships, donations, etc) that we come upon. For example, if a local business is trying to appeal to a certain demographic and we show that we are that demographic, the chances of collecting a sponsorship deal from them may increase.
So I thank you all for your help with this. The survey is through a secure server and, again, is anonymous. I ask that you take 1-2 minutes to fill it out and submit it, then please forward it on to anyone else who plays vintage base ball.

Cheers and hurrah!
