Delaware Call Fall Classic

Friends and supporters,

The Delaware Call is announcing the 3rd annual Delaware Call Fall Classic. 

On Saturday, September 27, 2025, we will be hosting a garden party and 19th century Base Ball match featuring Delaware's own Diamond State Base Ball Club versus challenging side the "Working IX" on the grounds of the Center for Creative Arts in Yorklyn, DE. Event is from noon to 5:00 p.m. The match will begin at 1:30 p.m.

Last year the Working IX held on after a 9th inning rally by the Diamond State Club to level the annual challenge match series at one apiece. 

Concessions will be available to purchase, but family picnicking is permitted (and encouraged!). Match tickets are $25 and there's plenty of space available for spectators to set up lawn chairs and blankets! 

A limited number of passes are available for the hospitality tent at $60 per person. The ticket is included as well as beer, white wine, and soft drinks from the bar. 

As a special attraction, a brass band will be on hand to perform mid 19th century pieces both before and after the match. 

Parking availability at the CCA grounds is very limited. Ample parking will be available at the Dew Point Brewery just down the road. It's a 5 minute walk to the grounds.

All proceeds benefit the Delaware Call (a Network Delaware 501(c)3 nonprofit)
