Celebrate Ten Years Of GPMABL Baseball
It is hard to believe that we have been
playing GPMABL baseball for a decade.
Before the GPMABL, playing adult baseball in this area too often
meant dealing with forfeits, putting up with constantly changing schedules,
and enduring difficulties presented by league financial woes. That changed ten years ago. We created the Greater Philadelphia Men's
Adult Baseball League to be the Philadelphia region's premier adult
baseball organization. A decade
later, it is clear we have delivered, curing the problems that turned
baseball from a joy into a chore in so many other leagues.
More than
simply playing games with little hassle, the GPMABL has become a league
where teams and players get to participate in unique and exciting
events…and even make dreams come true. We have had local celebrities kick off
each season (Finley, the Camden Rivershark threw out the first ball soon to
be joined by Angelo Cataldi, the reigning Miss Philadelphia, El Wingador,
the reigning Miss Pennsylvania, and others -- Click here for a video
of the historic first pitch). We played our
annual All-Star Game at professional ballparks and even took the field to
play at Veterans Stadium just months before it closed and Citizens Bank
Park just months before it became the home of the 2008 World Series
Champions. Teams of GPMABL players
hosted the Russian National Baseball Team, traveled to Cooperstown, NY to
play on the Baseball Hall of Fame's historic Doubleday Field, and
participated in national tournaments, playing games on Spring Training
fields used by the Phillies, Rays, Angels, Cubs, and Athletics. Along the way, we have played some
exciting baseball, made some news -- a major article and photo essay in the Philadelphia Inquirer in 2003; an article in the Philadelphia
Inquirer (see 1, 2, 3, 4) and an article (see 1, 2) in the Philadelphia Weekly in 2007 -- and gave Philadelphia’s ballplayers a
reason to look forward to Sundays!
What a great ten years…here’s to ten more!

The Greater Philadelphia Men's Adult
Baseball League (GPMABL) is committed to providing the adult player (25+),
the opportunity to play real baseball at a competitive level on a regular
basis in a professionally run environment.
The GPMABL season begins in April. The
league tryout and draft are held in March. Interested players are encouraged
to consult the "frequently
asked questions" and then sign
up to enjoy a season on the baseball diamond.
The GPMABL is affiliated with the Men's Senior Baseball League/Men's Adult
Baseball League (MSBL/MABL), the fastest-growing adult baseball
organization in the country. League players may be lawyers, local businessmen,
or police officers during the week, but enjoy baseball as a serious hobby
each weekend.
Aside from a few rule
changes, the GPMABL conforms to standard baseball rules. Teams wear major
league style or replica uniforms, play on the best available fields, and play
nine-inning games or two seven-inning games as part of a double header once a
week, generally on Sundays.
