Vintage Base Ball Team
The Hartford Senators were re-established in 2001 for the purpose of perpetuating, promoting, and playing the game of Baseball as it was when it first existed. The Vintage Base Ball Federation was founded by World Series pitcher Jim Bouton and funded by Mass Mutual Financial Group.
On August 19, 2007 at Bullens Field in Westfield, MA the Hartford Senators won the 2007 World Series of Vintage Base Ball. Hartford defeated Division Champions from California, Michigan, Rhode Island and Massachusetts to win the Pennant. The Senators were led by players Chris "Grit" Moran, Jeff "Bull" Durham, Mike "Broadway" Hickey and Robert "Streak" Silverberg. The Senators play home games at Colt Park in Hartford, Connecticut.

Famous quotes containing the words base, ball and/or team:
“I am sure my bones would not rest in an English grave, or my clay mix with the earth of that country. I believe the thought would drive me mad on my death-bed could I suppose that any of my friends would be base enough to convey my carcass back to her soil. I would not even feed her worms if I could help it.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“Life’s like a ball game. You gotta take a swing at whatever comes along before you wake up and find out it’s the ninth inning.”
—Martin Goldsmith, and Edgar G. Ulmer. Vera (Ann Savage)
“Is my team ploughing,
That I was used to drive
And hear the harness jingle
When I was man alive?”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
