The Rochester Grangers existed as a base ball club as early as 1871. Vintage base ball is played representing a time period when gentleman played for leisure and not for competition. You will not see any spitting, sliding, or wagering at these matches! Home matches are played at the Museum and guests should bring their own chairs or blankets, cool drinks, and sun protection. 
Visit the Rochester Grangers Facebook page for their complete schedule of matches. Always verify date and time as match day approaches, as this schedule is subject to change.
