Dexter Daze visitors got a rare glimpse of 1860s-style baseball on Saturday, when the Union Base Ball Club of Dexter took on the Chelsea Monitors in a head-to-head matchup at Gordon Hall.
Dexter ended its inaugural season, joining 25 other teams from across Michigan who have resurrected actual clubs from the mid-19th century.
