Saturday, the first day of the Western Michigan White Pine Muster, will feature an Old Time Base Ball game at 10:00 A.M. played according to 1860 rules just as the Civil War soldiers played the game in the fields during the war. No gloves were used and the striker (batter) is out if the ball is caught on the first bounce. The Ludington Mariners will play host to a visiting team from the Vintage Base Ball Association. This game has been broadcast live over WKLA AM for several years and local sponsors support the team with their advertisements. In addition to WKLA, the Ludington Mariners have had the continuous sponsorship of the Ludington Daily News since the team was organized in 1993.
