The Middlesex County Office of Arts and History is proud to announce that this spring will mark the inaugural season for the County’s new vintage-style baseball team, the Liberty Base Ball Club. The team’s home games will be played at Liberty Field at East Jersey Old Town Village, located at 1050 River Rd., Piscataway. Admission to all games is free.





“This club carries on the tradition of the original Liberty BBC, organized in 1857 in New Brunswick,” said Freeholder Kenneth Armwood, chair of the County’s Business Development and Education Committee. “The club was disbanded during the Civil War, but reorganized following the war’s end and played until 1870.”





“Middlesex County has over 160 years of baseball history, and this new team is a great way to celebrate that legacy of teamwork and good sportsmanship,” said Middlesex County Freeholder Director Ronald G. Rios. “I hope many families will get outdoors to these free games and share in our national pastime.”





Spectators should bring their own lawn chairs or blankets for seating.
