2. The Oldtime Baseball Game is a celebration
of our national pastime, played each year at
beautiful St. Peter’s Field on Sherman Street in
North Cambridge. From its humble beginnings
in 1994, the game has grown considerably over
the years, yet has remained loyal to its mission
of offering a glimpse of what it was like in the
old days, when hundreds of fans would turn out
to root for their “town” team in various local
semipro leagues.
What makes the Oldtime Baseball Game so
special is our dazzling collection of flannel
uniforms that represent virtually every era in
baseball history. Used just once a year for the
Oldtime Baseball Game, and then returned to
storage by our friends at Royal White Laundry
of Somerville, the uniforms include such long-
ago teams as the Boston Braves, St. Louis
Browns and Brooklyn Dodgers. Teams from
the old Negro Leagues are represented by the
Kansas City Monarchs, Homestead Grays and
Baltimore Elite Giants. Cuba is represented by
the legendary Cienfuegos Elefantes. We even
have a uniform from a team that never actually
existed: The New York Knights, for whom
Robert Redford’s Roy Hobbs character played
in “The Natural.”
Players from the game are chosen from colleges
and universities from the Boston area, with an
occasional high school player or retired big-

leaguer added to the mix. Over the years, former
Red Sox pitchers Oil Can Boyd and Jim Corsi
have played in the game, as has former Sox
infielder Lou Merloni, now a popular talk-show
on WEEI. Former New York Yankees star and
Medford native Mike Pagliarulo has also played
in the Oldtime Baseball Game. More than 25
participants from over the years have gone on
to play professional baseball, including former
Northeastern University star Carlos Pena of
Haverhill, the first representative of our game
to play Major League Baseball.
This year, it is especially meaningful to be
honoring Pete Frates, and his battle with
ALS, as we mark the 75th anniversary of Lou
Gehrig’s farewell speech.
great, Lou Gehrig (1903-1941), was diagnosed with
the disease in 1939 that ALS became well-known.
A baseball hall-of-famer who played for the New
York Yankees from 1923-1939, Gehrig left the game
due to the progression of his disease. He gave his
farewell speech on July 4, 1939, calling himself
“the luckiest man on the face of the earth,” and it
has been credited as one of the most emotional
moments in American sports history. This year
marks the 75th anniversary of Gehrig’s farewell
speech.

About ALS
There are roughly 30,000 Americans living with
ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Every
90 minutes, someone is diagnosed with this
progressive neurodegenerative disease causing
muscle weakness, paralysis, and respiratory failure.
It affects people of all ages, races, and ethnicities.
About 10% of those diagnosed have a genetic form of
the disease, while the majority live with a form that
has no known cause. There is no cure or effective
treatment for ALS.
ALS was first discovered by neurologist Jean-Martin
Charcot, MD, in 1865, but it wasn’t until baseball
