The Boston Colonials pay tribute to both the rich sports history of the city of Boston and the sport itself. We have dedicated ourselves to the game as it was played in 1886. Back when it was Base Ball, seven balls earned you a walk and getting hit by a pitch didn't get you a free pass, ballists had to earn everything. There were no helmets. There were no batting gloves. The fielder's glove was little more than a leather strap. We meet teams from around the country who share the love of the game and the tenacity to play as those who came more than 100 years before us. Come see how Base Ball began and enjoy a little piece of history as the Boston Colonials battle for the New England Vintage Base Ball Championship.

Colonials Best Pioneers in First Meeting

BRIGHTON, MA - In the local nine's highly anticipated first home game of the season, the Colonials defeated the Whatley Pioneers by a score of 15-9. After several two-hour drives to meet on the fields of their opponents, a battle-tested team from Beantown returned to Cassidy Field after a valuable week off.

The Pioneers are new to the vintage game, though they have experience in other leagues and proved to be determined opponents. Solid striking from every part of the Boston lineup led the way as Boston improved to 4-3 on the year.

Both teams showed tremendous hustle and never let up despite the 95+ degree weather that could only be described as hell on earth. The Colonials look forward to their second meeting with Whatley on their home field in July.
