ABOUT THE CLASSIC
On June 26th, 2016, we invite you to come play baseball with one of America's legends: Charlie Hustle. The Classic is a 1959 reenactement of a baseball game played by Charlie Hustle's Western Hills High School, organized by a small group of baseball fans. The game celebrates the legendary prowess a young Charlie Hustle exhibited during his youth on the very field he used. The game will occur immediately after Cincinnati retires #14, forever.
