   Old times baseball is super fun. There’s a whole bunch of teams in southeast MI where I’m from. All the historical sites and museums, like Greenfield Village (part of the Henry Ford Museum), Octagon House and Van hoosen Farm have them.

   Hailey (and presumably Bridget too),

   Great link. Thanks! I’d love to get involved in old-time baseball if it existed where I now live.

   In exchange, and speaking of reenactments, here’s a link to an article from the Maine newspaper where I used to work. It’s a first-person story by a rookie reenactor, who took part in a fund-raiser for a local “living history” museum whose barn recently burned down and which is seeking to rebuild.

   The writer is an old friend and colleague who usually covers police stories and has a couple of novels under his belt. Testimony to the intensity of the reenactment experience (and, I expect, real battle) is the fact that a Maine boy so quickly developed such affection for the 15th Alabama while fighting our sainted 20th Maine at (a simulated) Little Round Top!

   Here’s the link:

   And a link to the Norlands museum:
