SPINDLETOP-GLADYS CITY BOOMTOWN
VINTAGE BASE BALL COMES TO TOWN
Beaumont Lumbermen to Play Exhibition Game
The old-fashioned crack of the baseball bat will be heard at
Spindletop-Gladys City Boomtown, on the Lamar University campus, as the
museum’s 1860s vintage base ball team, The Beaumont Lumbermen, play an
exhibition game on Saturday, April 5, at 10 a.m.
“Beaumont
has an incredible baseball heritage dating back to the late nineteenth
century,” said event organizer Don Smart. “As regular baseball season
begins, it’s a great time to look back at how the game got its start.”
