The Stars will take on the Henry Ford Lah-De-Dahs in a vintage “base ball” game on Saturday, Sept. 3, at 2 p.m. at Memorial Field on Pennsylvania and 23rd.

For the Stars, this is their biggest match of the season—the fourth annual Home Classic, which showcases the club that hearkens back to the original baseball team in Wyandotte that was formed in 1867.

The two teams will compete in historic uniforms and play under the old rules of the game, which stress sportsmanship. There is no sliding and no cursing, and players do not use gloves.
