In 1867, the new game of “base ball” was
sweeping the nation and evolving from
a simple child’s game to a gentleman’s
national pastime — and the Detroit area was
host to the World’s Base Ball Tournament.
See how it was done at Historic Base Ball
— no cussing, no spitting — as Greenfield
Village’s two teams, the National Base Ball
Club (based on an 1867 Parma, Mich., club)
and the necktie-wearing Lah-De-Dahs (based on a club that played in Waterford in the
1880s) plus other visiting teams take to the field each week. It all leads up to a World
Tournament of Historic Base Ball, complete with live 19th-century music. Just as in the
original 1867 World’s Tournament, a $300 cash prize will be awarded to the champion
club, while the club with the fewest wins will receive a sack of peanuts. Free with
Village admission. Every Saturday and Sunday June 10-Aug. 20. Greenfield Village,
Dearborn. (800) 835-5237; thehenryford.org.

After years spent traveling the world, recording seven albums of smart and edgy folk-
rock and occasionally stopping in at an isolated Alaska cabin-home base, Ethan Daniel
Davidson returned to the Detroit area in 2012 to help run the philanthropic William
Davidson Foundation, founded by his late father. On his most recent album, Crows
— a follow-up to 2015’s Drawnigh — Davidson again recruited his wife, Gretchen
Gonzales Davidson, for lead guitar and backing vocals, and local producer Warren
Defever for a mix of smart, atmospheric and vaguely Americana-ish sounds. Magnet
magazine said: “Davidson is that kind of legendary folk singer who supposedly died
off a generation or two ago.” Join him for a Crows record release celebration 9 p.m.
Tuesday, June 13, at Third Man Records, Detroit. (313) 209-5205; thirdmanrecords.com.

“Jewish enough”). See the former Saturday Night Live cast member and Emmy
Award-winning writer and current host of Late Night with Seth Meyers as he
headlines Forgotten Harvest’s 25th Annual Comedy Night. Founded by Mark
Ridley and Tim Allen, the event has become the biggest annual fundraiser for
Forgotten Harvest, which “rescued” more than 43 million pounds of food last year,
which was distributed to emergency foo d providers in Metro Detroit.
