A Decade And More Of GPMABL History
After celebrating our 10th anniversary in 2010, we
are enjoying our second decade of baseball.
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, Brewers,
Mariners, 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!

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.
