Welcome to the home of the California Vintage Base Ball Federation (CVBBF). The CVBBF is a collaboration of California vintage base ball clubs that play the game of base ball the way it was played in the Old West. The great American pastime traveled west with pioneers in their search for gold and a new way of life. Getting to California meant surviving the Wild Wild West. A newer, more rugged form of base ball was created. It is with this same passion and spirit that we play the game. Most CVBBF games are played according to the rules and customs of the 1886.

Ballists of all ages and talent levels come out and play this breed of base ball. Although each game is essentially a reenactment of an earlier form of the sport, matches are nonetheless hard fought competitions with the utmost sportsmanship, fairness, and respect.

The goal of the CVBBF is to develop and organize vintage base ball in California and create strong partnerships with ball clubs all over the United States. For more information about the CVBBF, how to join a club, or to be added to this site contact us today!
