Newtown Sandy Hooks versus New York Gotham - September 12

The Newtown Sandy Hooks and New York Gotham celebrated the coming of fall in grand fashion on Sunday when they met on a makeshift field behind Fairfield Museum and History Center in front of a group of attentive spectators to demonstrate the finer points of 19th Century base ball. The event was the much heralded Fairfield Fall Festival and though the forecast predicted showers, the rain never appeared and all activities came off as planned.

As is typically the case when these two veterans of the vintage game meet, the match turned into an entertaining battle of exhilarating play and high heroics that kept cranks captivated and demonstrated why this game beats strongly in the hearts of all sports-loving Americans.

A growing contingent of cranks and family members convened on the parched, overused turf that frames the museum grounds in historic downtown Fairfield and gray skies greeted the two teams as they took the field; both determined to take home all the gold in the penultimate match of the 2010 season.

The Gotham club had cobbled together a formidable team of regulars and professionals from the Brooklyn Atlantic club while the Newtown nine countered with a strong selection of regulars who had played most of the season for the Sandy Hooks.
