Video: Snowshoe Baseball – If the Shoe Fits…….
Search for Sports Apps! Baseball – a game of speed, skill and power, right? Well, here’s one place where that speed thing isn’t quite so noticeable.
Welcome to Lake Tomahawk – the “World Capital of Snowshoe Baseball” – in northern Wisconsin!
This baseball/snow-sport hybrid has been played in Lake Tomahawk for over 50 years. In 1961, the town chairman, Ray Sloan, had the idea to give the area a unique summer sports to attract tourism, give the town a unique identity and help support various civic organizations. It worked. This summer, there is a full schedule of 12 games, played on Mondays and ending August 27.
