The 2023 Oldtime Baseball Game is being played as a fundraiser for The Boston Home in recognition of people with multiple sclerosis. Aidan Freeburg, a long-time participant in the Oldtime Baseball Game who was diagnosed with MS in 2014, has stepped forward to lead this year’s effort.
With a 15-year-old Willie Mays playing in the outfield, the ’48 Black Barons defeated the Kansas City Monarchs for the Negro American League pennant.
