Here are some fun things to do on Fathers Day.
Historical Baseball Games
Every Saturday and Sunday, including June 18, you can see the Greenfield Village Lah-De-Dahs play by Henry Chadwick’s 1867 Base Ball Book of Reference rules. During these historical games, a full nine innings are played without gloves in a “gentlemanly” manner. First pitch is at 1:30 p.m. Adults are $27, seniors 62-plus are $24.50, children ages 5-12 are $20.50 and children 4 and younger are free. Check out thehenryford.org for more information.
