ROCHESTER, MI — Before “peanuts and Cracker Jacks” and the “7th inning stretch”, base ball was played with no gloves, wool uniforms and long sleeves.

Come out and cheer on the Rochester Grangers as they play base ball the way it was played in the mid-1860s. Bring your own blanket or chair. The games are played at the the Rochester Hills Museum at 1 p.m.

The Rochester Hills Museum is located at 1005 Van Hoosen Road, off Tienken Road between Rochester and Dequindre Roads.
