Lemont Quarrymen
Vintage Base Ball Club
sponsored by the Lemont Area Historical Society

In 2011, history buffs and baseball lovers united to form the Lemont Quarrymen, a vintage base ball team. This club, ranging in age from 16-72, showcases the way base ball was played 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.

Vintage Base Ball is a pastime, with its beginnings and progressions mimicking those that occurred in America over 160 years ago. Teams competing today wear period reproduction uniforms, use period authentic equipment and follow baseball rules from the 19th century in order to accurately present the history of baseball to the public. Matches can be seen almost 12 months out of each year at open-air museums, living history villages, Civil War re-enactments and city parks and is played in over 20 states including Canada.
