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.

“They’re two good old friends of mine. I call them Constitution and The Bill of Rights. A most dependable team for long journeys. Then I’ve got another one called Missouri Compromise. And a Supreme Court—a fine, dignified horse, though you have to push him on every now and then.”
—Dan Totheroh (1895–1976)
