Copper City Classic Vintage Base Ball Tournament

BISBEE – Vintage base ball returns to Bisbee’s historic Warren Ballpark April 6th and 7th. Teams from Bisbee, Tucson, California and the Phoenix metro area take to the field to play in the 13th Copper City Classic Vintage Base Ball Tournament at Bisbee’s 114-year-old Warren Ballpark.

These vintage base ball clubs, dressed in uniforms dating back a century or more, will play by rules in effect when Abraham Lincoln first ran for president in 1860. One of the teams, the Maricopa Maidens, is an all-female team from the Phoenix metroplex that plays in uniforms identical to those worn by women in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League during the 1940s and 50s.
Angel Salas, a Bisbee minor league catcher and renowned youth baseball/softball coach and Bert Shepard Bisbee minor league pitcher, fighter pilot, prisoner of war and amputee major league pitcher, will be honored for their accomplishments on and off the diamond.
