VBBA Town Hall Facebook Group
This VBBA Town Hall group is designed to allow different vintage base ball (VBB) teams and players to learn about upcoming events throughout the nation. The intent is to enable folks from the different parts of this country to have discussions about how their seasons have been going and to facilitate interclub relationships.
