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 Take Season Opener 18-12

SIMSBURY, CT - The local nine kicked off the 2008 campaign with a win over the gritty Simsbury Taverneers on April 19th. Starting the season on the road, the combination of some new faces and seasoned veteran ballists gave the boys in green an 18-12 victory. The Colonials would like to thank the Taverneers for hosting the innaugural game of 2008 and look forward to future contests. Our next game will be in East Windsor, CT on April 26th against the Hartford Senators. A second game later that day in Conn. against the New Hampshire Granite may follow.
