July 4th Throwback Baseball Game

Come watch the Eastside Reds versus the Westside Giants as the Westside defends their title and the Eastside tries to take the trophy back. What makes this baseball game so unique? Players use authentic, turn-of-the-century uniforms and equipment complete with a live announcer. This annual tradition celebrates the Fourth of July and Springfield Preservation and Revitalization’s mission to preserve the historic character of the Springfield community.
The event is free and family-friendly. Dogs on leashes are welcome. Pre-game festivities include playing catch in the outfield, running the bases, and a parade for children. Limited bleacher seating is available and guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, tents, and picnic supplies. Food and beverages will be available for purchase.
