SUMMARY:Mahwah Museum Presents "A Cradle of the National Pastime: New Jersey Baseball 1855-1880" with John Zinn
DESCRIPTION:The Mahwah Museum presents “A Cradle of the National Pastime: New Jersey Baseball 1855-1880” a lecture led by John Zinn. Contrary to the popular myth\, Abner Doubleday did not invent baseball in Cooperstown\, New York.  The story of the early game is more complicated\, but also more interesting. \nThe program will discuss how organized baseball got started and the important role that New Jersey played in the game’s early days. This will include a description of what an 1860’s baseball game was like and the differences from the modern game. \nAbout John Zinn \nJohn Zinn is an independent historian with a special interest in the history of baseball.  John is the author of five books including three about the Brooklyn Dodgers. He also writes a blog on baseball history titled A Manly Pastime. John is the scorekeeper for the Flemington Neshanock vintage baseball team. \nRegistration \nRegistration is required for this event\, and open now.
