News release
The Post Nine, vintage base ball team of Historic Fort Hays, will play the Hays City 9 team at p.m. Saturday, April 22. The game will take place at Historic Fort Hays.
Since forming the Post Nine club in 2017, suiting up the club with vintage style uniforms, bats and following 1869 base ball rules the Post Nine team has hosted and played games with vintage teams from Wichita, Topeka, Denver, Emporia and Hays — Larks alumni and Hays City 9.
In 2022, a generous donor supplied vintage style shirts and caps for the new Hays City 9 town team players. So, Post Nine players can play against other “local boys” in the style of the 1860s.
Historic Fort Hays Post Nine Roster: Travis Gottschalk, Jordan Gottschalk, Ryan Gottschalk, Justin Gottschalk, Jarrett Sanders, Tanner Willhoft, Lance Geyer, Cam Stramel, Chance Werth and Jeff Green.
The game is free and open to the public. Bring your lawn chairs. Popcorn and water will be supplied.
