On Friday, June 13, 2025, Glen Cove residents stepped back in time as the Brooklyn Atlantics faced off against the NY Mutuals in a lively 1860s-style “base ball” game at John Maccarone Memorial Stadium. Spectators gathered under the evening sky to watch players in period uniforms swing lighter bats, run bases without gloves, and follow the historic rules of the game. The free, family-friendly event brought local history to life, offering a rare glimpse into how America’s pastime was originally played. Laughter, cheers, and curiosity filled the air as the crowd embraced the nostalgia of a bygone era.
