LEMONT QUARRYMEN VS. DuPAGE PLOWBOYS, OREGON GANYMEDES 
 
Ready to take a trip back in time? Well then, get ready to meet the Lemont Quarrymen Vintage Base Ball Club as they showcase the way base ball was played back in 1858. At matches, the Quarrymen tend their bases and scout the outfield without mitts, always hoping that the "onion" is knocked their way. While at bat, the ballists strike with their "willows" to knock the "apple out of the orchard" or "cut some daisies" in order to tally more aces than their opponents. For these Quarrymen, winning is nice, but its pursuit never dims their gentlemanly characters.

Learn all about how this game was played by watching real live players play base ball the way it was played back in 1858. Get out to a game soon, see what it's all about, and have a great time, too!

Mark your calendars for July 23 and August 21 for the next two HOME games to be held at Mt. Assisi Field, 13900 Main Street in Lemont, IL. If you just can't wait, check out their full schedule at https://www.lemonthistory.org/quarrymen.html and visit them at an away game! They play in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan. They've even played at the "Field of Dreams."
