Sydney Blue Sox

Bat-and-Ball Sports

The Sydney Blue Sox are a professional baseball team and one of the six founding teams of the re-formed Australian Baseball League. The creation of the league was announced at a press conference on the Gold Coast in July 2009, and the Sydney team name and blue colour scheme, the blue traditionally associated with New South Wales sporting teams, were announced in August 2010 after a fan naming competition. The club plays its home games at Blacktown International Sportspark, one of the two baseball venues of the 2000 Sydney Olympics. It hosted the league opening day on 6 November 2010 against the Canberra Cavalry and won 1-0. As the only team in New South Wales it drew strong early support, selling out its 500 season tickets two months before the first season. It is the only founding team never to appear in or win the Claxton Shield.
