Flintoff & Dunn’s AUSTRALIAN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL - 2010 CLAXTON 2010 IN REVIEW! - By Peter Flintoff Section 1 VICTORIA EMERGES TO WIN 22ND CLAXTON SHIELD - LAST OF THIS FORMAT? Under assurance that Australia’s new National Baseball League would definitely commence at the end of 2010, this 2009/10 Claxton Shield was proclaimed to be the last of its kind. Similar to the previous competition, this program was designed to be as close as possible to what the National League might bring as a kind of “forerunner” to the new competition. As another progressive upgrade from the previous year, each of the five major state teams were scheduled to play two three-game weekend series against each other state on a “home & away” basis. The schedule comprised more games than the previous season with the abandonment of the “Showcase Round” from the 2008/09 competition. Standard programming was for a Friday night game plus a Saturday afternoon/night double- header, however, separate games on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights were scheduled for Perth as a variation to this. Rained-out and/or postponed games were re-scheduled to be added to weekend programs for the return series between the same teams. At the conclusion of the 24 preliminary games played by each team the top placed team on the table was automatically qualified to host the best-of-three Grand Final series. The second placed team would host the third placed team in a best-of-three semi-final series for the right to play in the Grand Final. This Claxton Shield review is not intended to -

The History of School Baseball in Australia
The History of School Baseball in Australia Baseball has been played in schools since the early 1900s. In New South Wales the longest running School Knockout happens to be in the sport of Baseball, the Proud Shield competition as it is known, began in 1908, and was won by Fort Street High. The sport is presently played in over 500 Secondary Schools around Australia. At the interstate level, competitions have existed since the 1940's, with some evidence suggesting competitions in the 1930's. These competitions involved New South Wales and Queensland teams with spasmodic representation from South Australia and Victoria. Throughout the 1970's and early 1980's only New South Wales and Queensland teams competed, until 1987 when Australian Capital Territory played in a three way Championship. Michael Chapman, the New South Wales Combined High Schools Baseball Convener, worked tirelessly throughout this time to have other States participate and for Baseball to come under the umbrella of the Australian Schools Sports Council. In 1988, Michael was elected the first National Secretary of the Australian Secondary School Baseball Association under the banner of the Australian Schools Sports Council. The Championship of 1988, held in Canberra, had four teams - New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia and the Australian Capital Territory. It was a trial Championship before the full acceptance into the Australian Schools Sports Council. The venue for the inaugural Australian Secondary Schools Baseball Championship was Oriole Stadium, Sydney in 1989 where Victoria also competed for the first time. This year sees us playing our 21 st Championship. With the greater interest in the community, baseball standards have improved in schools. -

Portraits of People from Around the World Who Love Baseball. the Strength of Any Sport Can Be Measured by the Passion of Its Athletes and Fans
PASSION. Portraits of people from around the world who love baseball. The strength of any sport can be measured by the passion of its athletes and fans. In this, no sport surpasses baseball. The intensity of the game is mirrored in those who follow it, as is the explosive joy of a home run and the drama of a key strikeout. Just as the Olympic Games are not just a sporting event but an experience, so is baseball. Around the world, the reactions are the same and the emotions strongly felt. Young and old, rich and poor, male and female – in Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe, Australia and the Pacifi c Rim, people who love baseball wear their hearts on their sleeves. They have an emotional connection to the game whether it’s played in a stadium or on a sandy lot, by professionals or children or players with disabilities. It’s the passion and pride every athlete and fan feels when they say, “I am baseball.”™ And it’s the passion and pride baseball will always bring to the Olympic Games. “It begins with two kids, three kids, a group of kids – and a ball. Add a stick – call it a bat – and you have baseball.” Bernard Malamud Courtesy: National Geographic MEXICO UNITED STATES An explosive pitcher, Jesus threw a perfect game in the 2008 Alex began playing baseball at the age of two.

Professional Baseball in Japan and Australia from the Viewpoint of Industrial Relations

In this year, however, people paid much more attention to the merging of Osaka Kintetsu Buffaloes to Orix Blue Wave and to the antiῌemerging movement by the Japan Professional Baseball Players Asso- ciation+῍ ῌhereinafter referred to as “JPBPA”῍ rather than to the results of games ; al- though the year ῐ῎῎ῒ falls on the ῎ th anniversary for the Japanese Professional Baseball. This paper will deal with the course and result of the above affair as the organised reports of mine presented at the ῑ Joint Research Seminars in the form of paper. Furthermore, a brief comment will be made on the Australian Baseball, in order to prove that the idea of Australia having no tradition of baseball is wrong. ῏ ῍ Japan Professional Baseball Players Association ῌ“Chunichi Sports ” as of July ῏῎, ῐ῎῎ῒ῍ Japan Professional Baseball Players Association consists of ῐ central organisations ῌLabour Union and Corporate Juridical῍ and ῏ῐ Players parties of the respective Baseball Clubs.

2009 CLAXTON 2009 in REVIEW! - by Peter Flintoff Section 2
Flintoff & Dunn’s AUSTRALIAN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL - 2009 CLAXTON 2009 IN REVIEW! - By Peter Flintoff Section 2 WEST AUSTRALIA WINS BACK-TO-BACK FOR DIAMOND ANNIVERSARY SHIELD With our long-awaited new National League cast aside for at least another summer, the 2008/09 season saw a slightly revamped and upgraded Claxton Shield competition, much along the same lines as the quite successful 2007/08 version. The 2008/09 Claxton Shield would be conducted under the banner of the 75th DIAMOND ANNIVERSARY of the competition. To celebrate this, teams agreed to wear “modified retro uniforms” from their traditional baseball past. The most significant change was the abandonment of the Australian Provincial team that had enjoyed Claxton Shield status since the 2002 competition. Even though ‘Flintoff & Dunn’ have been staunch supporters of the Provincial concept and its place in a balanced six-team competition, we had to accept the reality of the direction chosen by Baseball Australia. In a nutshell, they were doing their best to prepare for the new National League with a similar “Home and Away” style schedule, involving series of games in each state. In order to provide some extra opportunity for “provincial players” to compete in the 2008/09 Claxton Shield, a pre-competition draft was organised whereby each of the State teams could select one “import” player. History would show that Western Australia scooped the pool when they selected ACT slugger Nick Kimpton with the last pick. He went on to win the prestigious Helms Award, while helping WA to secure back-to-back national championships.
