The Easton Volunteer Fire Department “Steamers” took on the Talbot County “Fair Plays” in a vintage baseball match. The event was held at Mt. Pleasant School and was sponsored by the Historical Society of Talbot County to recognize EVFD’s 200th anniversary. The Fair Plays took the first game while the Steamers took the second. Both games were played using 1864 base ball rules, which are quite different from rules used in today’s game.

Playing for the Steamers were such noted players as Mike “Tuna” Brophy, John Compton, John Harrison, Sol James, Tim “Avalanche” Kerns, Bill Keswick, Jamie “I’m to old for this” McNeal, Maury “Mo” Newnam, Aaron “Pancake” Saulsbury, Mike “Zig” Ziegler and team organizer Becky Caldwell.
