User: Mudville Base Ball Club

2008 marks the 150th anniversary of organized base ball in Boston. The Mudville Base Ball Club takes its name from the historic neighborhood in Holliston that inspired the poem "Casey at the Bat". Based in Holliston, the team specializes in the Massachusetts Rules of 1858, and celebrated the 150th anniversary of the first game played by those rules, with a 46-41 win over the Boston Colonials on May 10, 2008 at the Boston Common. Huzzah!!
