Vintage Base Ball

The Farmers Branch Base Ball Club (FBBBC) plays vintage base ball using 1860's rules and customs. We call ourselves the "Mustangs" because our city was first known as Mustang, Texas, before being renamed Farmers Branch in the mid 1800s. A full list of the rules and regulations by which we play can be found here.

A full listing of our practices, team meetings, and upcoming games can be found here.
