 The Akron Black Stockings Base Ball Club was organized in 1995 to keep the history of the sport alive and to promote good sportsmanship. Mark Heppner, the Curator of Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens who was instrumental in organizing the Club in 1995 marvels, “I simply saw a need to remind people of what was important about the game of baseball--fun, entertainment, and gentlemanly competition. The success of the Akron Black Stockings has truly surpassed any dream that I had!” The four main goals of the club are: 1.Education
2.Entertainment
3.Competition
4.Fun
 The team is supported by members of the community and based at Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens. Home games are played on the front lawn of this historic Tudor Revival mansion. ContactMark Heppner |
