The Essex Base Ball Organization, a non-profit “vintage” baseball group that plays baseball as it was played in the 19th century. We are based out of Newbury, MA and have four teams in our organization the Essex Base Ball Club, Lynn Live Oaks, Lowell Base Ball Club, and Newburyport Clamdiggers. One of our goals is to teach the history of baseball through games and demonstrations. In addition to playing a full schedule of games every summer, we run youth clinics in which we teach children the evolution of the game through hands on activities; we also give lectures on baseball history at historical societies, libraries, and other civic organizations.
