Australian Baseball
Posted: Fri Aug 06, 2010 12:22 amProfessional baseball is coming home! After a nationwide ‘Name Your Team’ competition, the Australian Baseball League (ABL) today unveiled names and logos for its six inaugural teams, with the Adelaide team to be known as the Adelaide Bite.
The Adelaide Bite will be joined by the Brisbane Bandits, Canberra Cavalry, Melbourne Aces, Perth Heat and Sydney Blue Sox as the founding clubs of the ABL when the inaugural 40-game season begins in November.
The Bite brand pays homage to the menacing Great White shark that patrols South Australia’s coastal waters, as well as the state’s geographic location along the iconic Great Australian Bight. The club will be based out of the traditional home of baseball
in South Australia, Coopers Stadium at Norwood Oval. Twenty South Australians have played professionally with Major League Baseball affiliated clubs in the United States.
“We are excited to build on baseball’s proud tradition here in Adelaide, and look forward to providing the community with electrifying baseball and family-friendly entertainment,” said Adelaide Bite General Manager Pat Kelly.
