Gotham Sports Media invites you to join us on a trip back in time – back to the 19th Century – as we once again take time out to celebrate Gotham’s storied baseball history at our Third Annual Gotham Cup Vintage Base Ball Tournament!
And this year, it’s bigger and better than ever!
What is the Gotham Cup? It’s a Vintage Base Ball Tournament where teams come together to play the National Pastime as it was played in the 1800s – back when players could pick their strike zones, catching a ball on one bounce is an out, stealing is absolutely rampant, and pitchers threw underhanded – just to name a few of the quirky and fun rules that make the Gotham Cup the great event that it is.
Also, listen to the segment of “Baseball Digest LIVE” below, were we talk to Ken “Trolley” Schlapp, the captain of the host team, the NY Gothams, and the person behind the entire event:
