The Post Nine, vintage base ball team of Historic Fort Hays, will play the Hays City 9 team on Saturday, October 14 at 1:00 p.m. 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 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 play against other “local boys” in the style of the 1860s!
Historic Fort Hays Post Nine Roster: Travis 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. Pack up the family, bring your lawn chairs and join us for afternoon of old-fashioned base ball. Popcorn and water will be supplied.
Fort Hays State Historic Site is located four miles south of I-70 exit 157 at Hays.
