History of the Club - 1966 to 2016

Our History

St Pats Baseball Club was first established as a baseball club in Sutherland in September 1966. Since its inception, the club has grown from strength to strength to the large "family" orientated baseball club it is today.

Throughout its proud history, St Pats Baseball Club has inspired its players to take pride in their club and uniform, and to do their best, both on and off the playing field. Ultimately, as junior players graduate to more senior baseball, they are encouraged to pass on their expertise and knowledge of the game by assisting with coaching, umpiring or managing of junior teams. In this way, they assist by perpetuating the finest traditions of baseball under the black and green banner of St Pats Baseball Club.
