The Summer of 2008 was a busy one for the founders of the Mossbacks. They have been scouting
the playing fields, walking the streets, schmoozing at parties and hanging round the local taverns to recruit players
for the 2009 inaugural season of the Mossbacks. They have met with much success and formed a club of experienced
baseball players who, together, make up the now infamous Mossback Base Ball Club.
Practices began in early July 2008 and the team has begun to gel. Each player became familiar with the unique rules and strategy of vintage Base Ball with particular focus on catching throws without a baseball mitt and hitting with bats that are significantly larger and heavier than modern bats.
The Mossbacks are now busy recruiting season sponsors. So come on out to any of the home or away matches and cheer on the players who also happen to be your friends, family and neighbors. You will have a great time, learn about how the game of base ball was played in the 1860s and see some of the greatest "athletes" in Petoskey play thee games as it was meant to be played!
