GREATER PHILADELPHIA  MEN'S ADULT BASEBALL LEAGUE Southeastern Pennsylvania * Philadelphia * South Jersey 2010 GPMABL DRAFT SET FOR MARCH 21^st GPMABL Phillies Hall-Of-Fame Tickets GPMABL HEADLINES Players 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.
