Well done to those at the ABL for getting it to this stage.
Looking like 2018/19 could be the start of big big things for baseball in Australia.
ABL expanding followed by Olympics.
Must Must qualify for the Olympics, its never been so important as it is now. Qualify and the money flows, dont and were fending for ourselves again.
CMON AUSSIES!!!!

It will be difficult to qualify for the olympics, reports of only 6-8 team competition.
We won silver in 04 and the money didnt flow, why would that change now?

My oth it will be difficult. Like i said it has never been more important to qualify then it is now.
The sport of baseball has received sweet F A from the government and qualifying for the Olympics will give the sport just like other Olympic qualified sports, government funding. We received this funding pre 2004 Olympics.
But if we dont qualify. ZERO.
CMON BOYS!! AUSSIES!!

ABL expanding....I'd like to see that! More accurate would be "ABL sinking in it's own sea of incompetence" The rhetoric coming via their own office is nothing more than eyewash. Major financial supporters have evacuated their posts all around the nation, Asia is "pie in the sky" And qualifying for the Olympics is 1,000,000 to 1. I hope that I am wrong on all counts. But as the late, great Spike Milligan said from the grave "I told you I was sick"

newatit - Mate you 100% wrong on all accounts. Its time we stopped the ABL hate and start supporting it. If we want a pro level of baseball in this country then its time to get out to the games. Surely someone from your club or affiliated is playing or involved, why not get out there and support them. The right people in MLB see the ABL as Single A baseball. So lets get out there and support the game. You seem very well informed so I stand corrected. Thanks for letting me know that I'm 100% wrong on all accounts. Hang on, haaaaannnnng on.....The right people in MLB withdrew funding to the league, didn't they? And the naming right sponsor Jet Couriers, is no longer financially supporting the Aces are they? My post is far from hate, more accurately fact, mate!

I have it on very good authority that if the Asian money dosent come into the league then its all over in about 5 years.
Rumour is fact. Sorry.
Newatit. you are right.
