The Australian Baseball League (ABL) is a professional baseball league in Australia. The league is governed by the Australian Baseball Federation (ABF), and is jointly funded by the ABF, Major League Baseball (MLB) and the Australian Federal Government. It uses the same name as a now defunct competition held during the 1990s, and though it shares some history of the original league with the Claxton Shield awarded to winners of both competitions, it is considered to be a separate competition.

The current champions are the Perth Heat, having won the 2010–11 season by defeating the Adelaide Bite two games to one in the championship series, after defeating the Sydney Blue Sox in the major semi-final series. Though the inaugural season of the league, it was the fifth time a team named "Perth Heat" had won the Claxton Shield; Perth were national champions twice in the original ABL and twice in Claxton Shield tournaments, after the Western Australia state baseball team renamed themselves in anticipation of the return of the ABL.

[edit] Organisation

The ABL is jointly owned by MLB (75%) and the ABF (25%). Rather than following more traditional models of the franchises being owned privately by individuals or organisations, the league is the owner of each team. One of the rationales for this structure is to closely manage the financial situation, helping to ensure that all teams are equally viable. It is expected that this arrangement will continue for at least the first five seasons: the period of time covered by the financial commitment made by MLB and the ABF.[1]

As a result of the central ownership of the teams, all players are paid by the league. This is to ensure that no team receives an unfair advantage over any other with regards to financial success. The payscale has set a number of tiers which group players of similar experience levels, with all players in the same tier receiving the same pay. The ABL has considered the possibility of having one or two marquee players paid above the standard scale, though no final decision has been made with regard to this. One concern about high rates of pay expressed by the ABF was that it was a contributing factor, if not the main factor, in the failure of the previous Australian Baseball League. ABF management has also expressed the concern that if this league were to fail, that there may never be another opportunity for professional baseball in Australia.[1]

The business model is heavily reliant on local team following as, for reason of distance, it is unlikely that away teams will attract significant fan followings other than Sydney-Canberra.[2]

[edit] Original league

Main article: Australian Baseball League (1989-1999)

The original Australian Baseball League commenced in 1989. At the time it replaced the Claxton Shield as the top baseball competition in the country, with eight teams from Adelaide, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney. Over the course of the league's life, teams were also based in Canberra and Newcastle, with the number of teams competing in any one season varying from six to nine. Only four teams contested each of the ten seasons, with the others folding due to financial problems, or due to a lack of a suitable venue for home games.

The financial difficulties were not restricted to the clubs, as the league was forced to close after the summer of 1999. Running at a loss of A$2 million a season, the rights to the league were sold to Dave Nilsson—an Australian Major League Baseball player with the Milwaukee Brewers at the time—for a reported A$5 million.[3]

[edit] Formation

On 1 July 2009, a joint press-conference was held by the ABF, MLB and Australian Federal Government at the Palm Meadows Baseball Complex on the Gold Coast in Queensland, the site of the Major League Baseball Australian Academy Program (MLBAAP). During the conference the intention to resurrect a national baseball league for Australia was announced, with the Government announcing A$400,000 towards the new league.[4] Though some sources reported that the new league could be running as early as October 2010,[5] there had been no official timeframe released for the new league to commence.[6]

Initial reports suggested the competition would likely include between eight and ten teams from around Australia. Discussions were held between the ABF and Baseball New Zealand about the possibility of a team based in New Zealand being included in the competition. The offer, however, was declined on the basis that there was not sufficient infrastructure, specifically citing the need for a suitable stadium and a major sponsor for the team. The possibility of a New Zealand team joining the competition at some point in the future has not been ruled out though.[7]

There were additional concerns about the viability of a team based in South Australia, primarily based on the lack of a suitable stadium with lights to be able to play night games.[8] This, along with playing on baseball-specific grounds — as opposed to playing on temporarily converted rugby league grounds as had been the case in the old ABL — was seen as a necessary requirement to insure the long-term profitability of the competition.[9]

In August 2009, a bid process was launched by the Australian Capital Territory Baseball Association (ACTBA) for a team to be based in Canberra with the name and motto of "Let's Do It Canberra".[10] The bid was not in competition with any other bids, but was required to meet certain minimum standards, such as fan and sponsorship support, to be successful and join the other five teams from Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney that were at the time confirmed.[1] On 18 November 2009, it was announced by the ABF that the Canberra bid was successful, confirming that the inaugural season would include six teams.[11]

In December 2009, a competition was launched for fans to decide the names of the foundation franchises, called "Name Your ABL Team". For each franchise, four team-name options were available to choose from, in addition to being able to enter another name created by the entrant.[12] In August 2010, the names of the teams were announced, along with team logos and colours: Adelaide Bite, Brisbane Bandits, Canberra Cavalry, Melbourne Aces, Perth Heat, and Sydney Blue Sox.[13]

[edit] Season structure

[edit] Regular season

For the inaugural season, the regular season was played from November through to January over ten weeks, similarly to the 2010 season of the Claxton Shield. With the expansion from five to six teams, each team played every week as opposed to the two bye weeks the teams had previously. In addition, rather than a three-game series each week, the series were four games each, resulting in each team playing 40 games over the season. As had been the case in 2010, the majority of games were played on Fridays and Saturdays, though some games were also played on Thursdays and Sundays, depending on the team hosting and whether or not a doubleheader was included in the series.[14]

The 2011–12 season will largely follow the same format as the 2010–11 season, with only minor changes. Though the opening game of the season will once again be the only game played that day, the whole series will be played over the same weekend along with the first series for each of the other four teams. To allow for the Perth Heat's participation in the Asia Series, each of the teams has a bye weekend during the first half of the season. The season expanded from 40 to 45 games per team; one of the two series played against each opponent will expand from 4 to 5 games.[15]

[edit] Postseason

At the conclusion of the regular season, the postseason involves the top four teams in a three-round structure following the Page playoff system. Each round consists of a best–of–three game series between the respective teams.[16] The first- and second-place teams play each other in the major semi-final, with the winner proceeding directly to the grand final and the loser to the preliminary final. The winner of the minor semi-final between the third- and fourth-place teams also goes to the preliminary final, while the loser is eliminated. Likewise, the winner of the preliminary final qualifies for the grand final, the loser eliminated.[17] The winner of the grand final is named the ABL Champion for that season, and is awarded the Claxton Shield; the prize given to the top Australian baseball team since 1934.[14]

[edit] Asia Series

Main article: Asia Series

Announced after the inaugural ABL season had been completed, the league's champions each season will be invited to the restarted Asia Series.[18] The event had previously been contested between the winners of Nippon Professional Baseball's (NPB) Japan Series, Korea Professional Baseball's (KPB) Korean Series, Chinese Professional Baseball League's (CPBL) Taiwan Series, and China Baseball League's (CBL) championship series. The 2011 tournament will not feature the CBL's champions, but officials have stated that a team would participate in future editions. Unlike all four previous editions of the tournament which were held in Japan, the 2011 edition will be held in Taiwan. The tournament follows a round-robin format, where each team plays each other once. The top two teams then face each other in a single game to decide the champion.[19]

The Asia Series is held in November, which would otherwise create a conflict for the ABL champion team as the following season would have already commenced. To avoid this, the League announced that during the 2011–12 season, the Perth Heat—2010–11 champions—would be scheduled to have a bye while competing in Taiwan.[20]

[edit] Media coverage

See also: Broadcasting of sports events

For the inaugural season, there had been no television coverage of regular season games, either live, delayed or in a regular highlights package review format, despite having been in negotiations with Fox Sports and One HD.[21] After completing negotiations for live television coverage of the finals,[22] the championship series was broadcast live on Fox Sports.[23]

On 1 November 2010, Sydney community radio station Triple H FM announced it would provide live broadcasts of Sydney Blue Sox home matches as well as Canberra Cavalry's home series against the Blue Sox, Melbourne Aces and Perth Heat—the weeks Sydney was away from home.[24] Perth Now's radio station SportFM announced it would cover the Perth Heat spring training games as well as the opening game of every Heat home series.[25]

The Adelaide Bite,[26] Brisbane Bandits[27] and Perth Heat[28] provided free audio and video streaming through internet website Ustream.

 Canberra Cavalry Canberra Australian Capital Territory Narrabundah Ballpark [31]
 Melbourne Aces Melbourne Victoria Melbourne Showgrounds [32]
 Perth Heat Perth Western Australia Baseball Park [33]
 Sydney Blue Sox Sydney New South Wales Blue Sox Stadium [34]

Though the locations for the six teams had been known for some time previously, it was not until 5 August 2010 that the names of the teams were announced. Websites were also launched on the same day for each of the teams with the exception of the Perth Heat, which had been the name of the Western Australian team playing in the Claxton Shield since 2006, as well as being one of the franchises from the original ABL, contesting all ten seasons.[33] The Brisbane Bandits is also a reintroduction of a team name from the original ABL that participated in all but the final season.[30]

The Adelaide Bite uses a name that the South Australia state baseball team has previously used at various times in the Claxton Shield, which in turn refers both to the great white shark common to South Australian waters as well as the geographic feature, the Great Australian Bight.[29] Likewise, the Melbourne Aces uses the Victoria state baseball team's moniker from Claxton Shield competitions past.[32] The Canberra Cavalry and the Sydney Blue Sox both use names not previously used in Australian baseball at the national level.

[edit] Potential expansion

Expansion teams to represent the Gold Coast, the Central Coast, and Geelong are being considered for future seasons, as well as the possibility of second teams from Melbourne and Sydney.[1] There is further potential for teams to be based overseas, with New Zealand[7] and Japan[35] having been publicly discussed. Another alternative for expansion teams being considered is the possibility of an all-Japanese or all-Asian team added to the league, with the team being based in Australia rather than requiring international flights for the team's members and their opponents.[36]
