our history
The Blue Mountains Baseball & Softball Club has a storied history dating back to 1979 formed under the name Blue Mountains Baseball & Sporting Club, catering for Baseball, Softball, Soccer and Netball. In the early years, the club struggled to find its footing and consistently earn victories. However, with hard work and determination, the team eventually started to turn things around.
In 1986, soccer and netball demerged from the club and the name was changed to the Blue Mountains Baseball & Softball Club and we began to see more success on the field, thanks in part to the emergence of several talented players. The team made it to the playoffs for the first time in 1987, and then again in 1988 and 1989. While they fell short of the premiership in those early years, the team's progress was evident. 1987 saw our relocation from Tom Hunter Park to our now home ground, Lomatia Park, Springwood.
It wasn't until the mid-1990s that the Blue Mountains Baseball Club truly began to dominate the league. In 1991, they finally earned their first premiership, defeating their long-time rivals in a closely contested final. This victory sparked a run of success that would continue for the next two decades. Blue Mountains continues to put competative teams on the field in Baseball and Softball and we're looking forward to many years to come.
