Old ballgame
The Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum will continue its Father’s Day weekend tradition by hosting the third annual “Take Me Out to the Ball Game: 1864,” on Saturday, June 19, at 1 p.m. During this special program, visitors can witness the origins of America’s pastime, as a real 19th-century baseball game will be played between the New York Mutuals and another local vintage team, under the rules used back in 1864. Following the contest, the players will stay around to play a game of “Rounders” with children — and maybe a few dads — from the audience. In addition, the day will feature other activities, including free tours of the mansion and carriage house, as well as a raffle to win the game ball. There will also be complimentary popcorn and water for all guests to enjoy. Tickets to this event cost $15 for adults or $5 for seniors and children ages 6 to 17. Advance registration is recommended but not required. The mansion is located at 895 Shore Road, in Pelham Bay Park. Call 718-885-1461.
