Bring your family, friends and neighbors out for the second annual “Step Up to the Plate 4 ALS” vintage base ball game to raise awareness and support for ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) research! This exciting game will be played by the rules and customs of the 19th Century. The players (“ballists”) wear period reproduction uniforms and recreate the game based on rules of 1862.
All donations from “Step Up to the Plate 4 ALS” will benefit the ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI), the world’s largest non-profit research Institute focused on finding a treatment for people living with Lou Gehrig’s disease. Over 30 researchers are working daily to put an end to ALS in the Cambridge, MA lab.
The vintage base ball game between the “Early Riser Base Ball Club of Detroit” and the “Northville Eclipse Base Ball Club” will be held at Heritage Park on Soccer Field #1 on Thursday, July 21, 2011at 6:30pm. Seating is limited so bring a blanket or chair. |
