</a><br />It's another opening day and for the past few years, I've posted a baseball song or tune from the 1860s but I'm starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel. By the time this song was published in 1867, baseball had abandoned the bound rule, where the batter was declared out if a fielder caught the struck ball on one bounce. Even during that era, however, a fielder who instead chose to catch it on the fly was venerated. Our club, the Eclipse Base Ball Club of Northville, prefers playing by the rules of 1864 as we find it more interesting and further distinguishes it from a modern softball game.

</a><br />Yikes! Another non-banjo posting by me! I don't know anything about this video game but thought it was interested that it recreated the Pry House & barn. It's a very short snippet at about 7 minutes and 13 seconds.

Originally, I made this video for my dad's 100th birthday celebration last weekend then added 1900-1915 to put it on YouTube. I mistakenly left a couple things from the original such as my parent's wedding photo in 1938 and my dad's draft registration…
