John "Bull" Davenport, veteran fielder, behind and striker for the Oakland Colonels Base Ball Club. Another tough loss for the Colonels today, but lots of positive coverage for the league. Great interview on KTVU this morning gents. #vintagebaseball #bayareavintagebaseball #bavbb #oaklandcolonels #1886baseball #makeportraits #nationalpastime #cooperstown
"Opening Day" at Mosswood Park, the Oakland Colonels defended their home park with a decisive 7-2 victory over the visiting San Jose Dukes. Plenty of cranks in the stands, bunting and green and white flags, and a gorgeous east bay afternoon. Bay Area Vintage Base Ball at its finest, this is baseball 1886 style. #bavbb #bayareavintagebaseball #1886baseball #halloffame #cooperstown #revivaltintype #oakland #oaklandcolonels
"Casey at the Bat: A Ballad of the Republic Sung in the Year 1888" by Ernest Thayer. ...The sneer is gone from Casey's lip, his teeth are clenched in hate;
he pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate.
And now the pitcher holds the ball, and now he lets it go,
and now the air is shattered by the force of Casey's blow. I can’t wait for baseball season to start again. Looking back on this #8x10 #tintype series I did for the National Pastime Museum and dreaming of spring.
Another season of Vintage Base Ball in the books, and my hometown Oakland Colonels finished strong, knocking off the top seed in the first round of the playoffs before falling to the Dublin Aces in the semis this past Saturday. A miserable cold bug kept me from watching their triumph last weekend and a wedding kept me from attending the championship, but I heard they were scrappy till the end, nearly coming back from an 8 run deficit with 5 in the final frame. You guys play the game like drunken warrior poets. Go Colonels! #vintagebaseball #1886baseball #bavbb #ballist #oaklandcolonels
Great play today by Ben "Professor" Texara. Came on in late relief with two strikeouts, and drove in two for a walk-off win 5-4, 1886 style. Good ginger Prof! No helmets, no padding, no problem. This is Base Ball, by 1886 rules. #bavbb #bayareavintagebaseball #vintagebaseball #halloffame #oaklandcolonels #oakland #revivaltintype
