Greater Philadelphia
Men's Adult Baseball League
History
2007 — The GPMABL expanded in its eight year,
adding two teams to establish a ten-team league. The league upgraded
fields, adding college diamonds and played games at Villanova's Plymouth
Meeting Field, LaSalle's Hank DeVincent Field, Eastern University Field,
Deptford High School, Cheltenham Field, Liberty Bell Field, and Richie
Ashburn Field. Highlights included hosting the Russian National
Team for an international exhibition (attracting an article in the Philadelphia
Inquirer and an article and
photo
essay in the Philadelphia Weekly), playing in local and national
post-season tournaments, and a playoff tournament won by the league's first
true dynasty and three-time champions, the Havertown Eagles.

2005 — The GPMABL celebrated its fifth year with
another season of great games and quality play. The league played
games at Deptford High School, Camden Catholic High School, Cardinal O'Hara
High School, and Richie Ashburn Field. Highlights included El Wingador
throwing out the first pitch of the season, a switch to all-wood play,
a league title for the Havertown Eagles, and an All-Star Game at Wilmington
Blue Rocks Stadium that ended the year with a fun evening on the diamond...and
then off the field toasting the season that was.

to an independent professional baseball league, a league title for the

Game at Wilmington Blue Rocks Stadium that ended the year with a fun evening
on the diamond...and then off the field toasting the season that was.

2003 —
This was another great year of GPMABL baseball. More players than
ever were on league rosters and the competition was fierce. The league
played games at Girard College, Delaware County Community College, Deptford
High School, Saint John Neumann High School, and Richie Ashburn Field.
Highlights included WIP radio personality Angelo Cataldi throwing out the
first pitch of the season, many dramatic extra-inning games, an upset-filled
playoff round that led to a hard-fought championship victory, a major article and photo essay
in the Philadelphia Inquirer, and an All-Star Game at Veterans
Stadium that allowed the GPMABL stars to live out their childhood dreams
of playing at the home of the Phillies.

Building on the success of its inaugural season, the GPMABL expanded to

included Fire Commissioner Harold Hairston throwing out the first pitch of
the season, GPMABLers on the cover of Hardball Magazine, a rain-shortened
All-Star game at the Wilmington Blue Rocks' Frawley Stadium, a pair of no-hitters,
and a three-game series that went the distance to determine the league
champions.

2001 —
Frustrated with their baseball options, the teams of the
Greater Philadelphia Men's Adult Baseball League banded together to form
the Philadelphia region's premier adult baseball organization. The teams
of the GPMABL committed to providing the adult player the opportunity to
play real baseball at a competitive level on a regular basis in a professionally-run
environment. The league's inaugural season was a tremendous success with
games played at Delaware County Community College, Chichester High School,
Deptford High School, and Richie Ashburn Field. Highlights included
Finley -- the Camden Riversharks mascot -- throwing out the inaugural first
pitch, the GPMABL All-Star game at the Wilmington Blue Rocks' Frawley Stadium,
and a three-game series that went the distance to determine the league's first
champions. Click here for a
video of the historic first pitch.
