Sometimes the place where games are re-created is as historic as the game itself. Here, the St. Croix Base Ball Club visits the Afton Red Socks at Afton Town Square Park, the first public square park established in Minnesota Territory. There is a good possibility that the place where these two modern clubs are playing 1860 rules base ball was also the site of base ball in 1860. May 16, 2004, Afton, Minnesota.
