Baseball came to Manchester 130 years ago, but it didn't exactly look like the same game we play today. We'll travel back in time to learn the origins of New Hampshire baseball (or "Base Ball") with Marylou Ashooh Lazos, curator of the Manchester Millyard Museum's exhibit on the subject. We'll also talk with Jon "Bang Bang" Pistey, who still plays by the old rules in a vintage baseball league called the Essex Base Ball Club.
