Greater Philadelphia Men's Adult Baseball League Information

The GPMABL is a league where teams and players get to participate in unique and exciting events…and even make dreams come true. We have local celebrities kick off each season (including Angelo Cataldi, Karen Hepp, and El Wingador -- Click here for a video of the historic first pitch ). We play our annual All-Star Game at professional ballparks and played at Veterans Stadium and Citizens Bank Park. GPMABL players hosted the Russian National Baseball Team, traveled to Cooperstown to play on historic Doubleday Field, and participated in national tournaments at Spring Training fields used by the Phillies, Angels, Reds, and Athletics. Along the way, we have played exciting baseball, made news -- a major article and photo essay in the Philadelphia Inquirer in 2003; an article in the Philadelphia Inquirer (see 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ) and an article (see 1 , 2 ) in the Philadelphia Weekly in 2007 -- and gave Philadelphia's ballplayers a reason to look forward to Sundays! The Greater Philadelphia Men's Adult Baseball League (GPMABL) is committed to providing the adult player the opportunity to play real baseball at a competitive level on a regular basis in a professionally run environment. The GPMABL season begins in April. The league tryout and draft are held in March. Interested players are encouraged to consult the " frequently asked questions" and then sign up to enjoy a season on the baseball diamond. The GPMABL is affiliated with the Men's Senior Baseball League/Men's Adult Baseball League (MSBL/MABL) , the fastest-growing adult baseball organization in the country. League players may be lawyers, local businessmen, or police officers during the week, but enjoy baseball as a serious hobby each weekend. Aside from a few rule changes , the GPMABL conforms to standard baseball rules. Teams wear major league style or replica uniforms, play on the best available fields, and play nine-inning games or two seven-inning games as part of a double header once a week, generally on Sundays.
