Vintage Baseball World Record Attempt
If baseball is as American as apple pie, then what is vintage baseball? Must be lard in that crust - the old fashioned way with a heritage apple like Northern Spy. If you love baseball then Memorial Day weekend in Fleischmanns is the place you need to be. The local Fleischmanns vintage team - the Mountain Athletic Club - is going for a world record, playing vintage baseball for 49 hours straight. The kick off will be Friday May 27th starting at 5pm in the Village Park. Some country cousins from the Roxbury Nine, Bovina Dairymen will help keep the momentum going and to give the Mountain Athletic players a rest.

Here is an old article from a travel guide put out by the Ulster & Delaware along with a JPG of the listings of private homes that took in lodgers during the summer months from the same book. For a better version go to our Facebook Page for the PDF. They follow the path of the Ulster & Delaware from Fleischmanns to West Davenport. The name of some old family farmsteads will be recognizable to some. It's also interesting that the literature showed the elevation of the town - cool mountain air at 1500 feet above sea level was probably a very good reason to vacation here.
