Believe it or not, the 2008 Irish baseball season is almost upon us. For 2008 the league will take the following format;
A League (Division one)
Andy 'the hitman' Martin, Lorcan 'statto' Sherlock and me under an umbrella during one of last 'summers' many rain outs that cursed the Irish baseball league
The 'A' league is basically as you were with the one change being the 'Twins United' have changed their name to 'Indios BBC', this being their fourth name change since they started playing in the league!
Here's how the 'A' league finished up in 2007
The 2007 Irish Baseball League Standings
Baseball Ireland - we do it wetter!
Each 'A' league team will play a healthy 15 games and the 'B' league squads will play 12 games each, making for two nice long league programs.
The first two weeks scheduled games
Week one
Week two
Where is Corcaigh Park? Right here, that's where!
Just another sun soaked afternoon of Irish baseball!!
