Massachusetts Old-Time Baseball Game
Joe Wolfe Field in North Adams hosts the Massachusetts Old Time Baseball Game, offering a glimpse into the early history of America’s pastime. Baseball has deep roots in Massachusetts, including a 1791 Pittsfield bylaw that included one of the earliest known written references to the game. This event invites spectators to see how baseball grew from older bat-and-ball games into the sport we know today, with changing rules, equipment, uniforms, and traditions along the way. As locals gather to cheer, the game becomes a chance to learn about sports history, community identity, and the role baseball has played in Massachusetts culture.
