In a charming nod to baseball’s rich history, vintage baseball clubs from across California convened at San Luis Obispo’s picturesque Sinsheimer Stadium on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
The event, reminiscent of a bygone era, transported players and spectators alike back to the year 1886 when baseball was played under a different set of rules and with a unique sense of camaraderie.
The Riverside Smudge Pots, hailing from Southern California, were among the enthusiastic participants. Led by their captain, Chris Johnson, the Smudge Pots embodied the spirit of vintage baseball, welcoming players of all backgrounds to join their ranks.
Johnson emphasized the inclusive nature of the sport, highlighting the opportunity for anyone with a passion for the game to get involved, whether by joining an existing team or forming a new one within the league.
Dubbed the Coast Classic, the event brought together a diverse array of vintage baseball clubs, each representing a slice of California’s rich baseball heritage.
Alongside the Riverside Smudge Pots, teams such as the Crestline Highlanders, Barbary Coast, and the San Francisco Pelicans showcased their skills on the field, delighting the crowd with their adherence to 1886-era rules and regulations.
