Baseball, old school style. The Conversation featured the Aloha Vintage Base Ball Association last year, when the idea for a league that celebrated 19th-century rules and uniforms was still in the planning phases.
The nonprofit league put together the Kalakaua Base Ball Jubilee this past weekend at Cartwright Field. The Conversation attended the inaugural game.
The Aloha Vintage Base Ball Association is looking for players for its upcoming season. Learn more here.
