The Blossomtime Royals and the House of David Echoes played to a 7 - 7 tie in a recent game at the 2009 Berrien County Youth Fair. Vintage Base Ball is base ball (yes it was spelled two words prior to the 1880s) played by the rules and customs of the 19th Century.  These teams meet twice a year, once following the Blessing of the Blossoms at the Echoes Eastman Field, Mary’s City of David on Britain Ave. in Benton Charter Township and again during Fair Week at yellow field on land that was once farmed by Mary’s City of David.
