    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

    MEMO TO: Members DATE: 6th AUGUST 2018 FROM: Baseball Victoria SUBJECT: Under 12 State Winter Championships, Monash University, STG Training Sessions with Miranda Frisken, Pat Cronin Foundation Dear Members, 2018 Under 12 State Winter Championships The Under 12 State Winter Championships finished up on Sunday 29th July in Mildura. Seven teams competed across two pools at the Old Aerodrome Ovals. Participating Winter Associations included Bendigo, Geelong, City West, Latrobe Valley, Dandenong, Sunraysia and a combined team made up of players from Ringwood and Diamond Valley (Ring DV). The competitors played hard and the ladder changed multiple times throughout the weekend. In the end Ring/DV came together as a squad and won pool A whilst City West took out the title in pool B. Congratulations to all involved and thank you for all the hard work of the volunteers who made the event possible. That concludes the State Winter Championships for 2018. Baseball Victoria looks forward to seeing everyone again next year. Final Standings POOL A POOL B Ring/DV City West Dandenong Bendigo Sunraysia Latrobe Valley Geelong Legends game to farewell the Monadome As many of you will know, the Monash University is building the Victorian Heart Hospital on the site that currently houses the Monash University Baseball Club’s home ground, the Monadome. Unfortunately, this means that the Farmers will be re-locating to another venue close by. As a tribute to their home diamond and club house of the last 25+ years, Monash University BC are holding a ‘Farewell to the Monadome’ Day on Sunday August 12th.

  • TEN YEARS of the AUSTRALIAN BASEBALL LEAGUE Its Origins
    Flintoff & Dunn’s AUSTRALIAN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL - 2015 AUSTRALIAN BASEBALL LEAGUE 2015 IN REVIEW! - By Peter Flintoff Section 1 PERTH HEAT JUGGERNAUT MAKES IT 4 FROM 5 ABL CHAMPIONSHIPS IN 2015! In 2014/15 we enjoyed the fifth season of the "second coming" of the Australian Baseball League. Once again six teams from major capital centres made up the competition, namely Adelaide Bite, Brisbane Bandits, Canberra Cavalry, Melbourne Aces, Perth Heat and Sydney Blue Sox. As usual these teams comprised many of the best local players with the addition of international imports from the USA, Japan, Taipei and Korea mainly. Having said that, some of our very best Australian professional talent either did not play or played only part of the season as a worrying trend. To continue their elected path, only the Melbourne Aces hosted Japanese professional imports for the 2015 season. The remainder of this paragraph is a repeat from last season, but my opinion has not changed and, moreover, it is stronger than ever. The Japanese players had only a modest impact before, as dictated, packing up to return home at Christmas time. 'Flintoff & Dunn' has probably said enough about the overall value of importing Japanese players into our ABL, especially given that they are unable to stay the course of the full season. Regardless of what philosophical advantage there may be for our league to have some Japanese "connection", there is sufficient evidence that the Japanese import players provide very little value to the club(s) that host them. It is more of a detraction and a distraction to replace these players mid-season.
