the Southern Division playoffs and finished the year with a 28-20

First Known “Human Baseball”
The city of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, the home of
baseball, now can be known as the “birthplace of the Human
Baseball.” More than 600 fans gathered on Saturday, July 14, at
historic Waconah Park, where Lou Gehrhig had hit home runs and
Casey Stengel and Jim Thorpe also played America’s pastime, to
create the first known “human baseball.” The festivities took
place before the regular New England Collegiate Baseball League
game between the Pittsfield Dukes and Holyoke Giants. The human
baseball project is part of Art Of The Game, a two-year
celebration of Pittsfield’s place in the evolution of baseball.
It all started in 2005, when a 1791 ordinance prohibiting the
playing of baseball within 80 yards of the town’s meeting house
was discovered in the local library. The ordinance preceded any
other printed record of baseball. (Photo by Lee Everett, Fine
