Well over 100 players; friends and families; Life Members; Alumni Members and players from the Redlands Baseball Club had a fantastic day at Wests celebrating our fabulous Club’s 60th anniversary

We were honoured to have State MP – Jess Pugh formally open our Batting cage. And we were honoured with our local Councillor – Sarah Hutton attend and support the day.

The Bassingthwaighte family also honoured our Club with their attendance to help us celebrate the life of Life Member – Tim Bassingthwaighte – who quietly passed away in August 2021. A plaque in honour of Tim was unveiled by son Russell Bassingthwaighte together with the fabulous organiser for the day – Wendy Alexander.

A huge thank you to Kevin and Wendy Alexander and the myriad of volunteers that made the day such a success. Special mention to Rae Stone for her wonderful work selling raffle tickets.

60 YEAR ANNIVERSARY TRAINING SHIRT – ADULT

$45.00

Celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the Western Districts Baseball Club’s creation – we are marking the occasion with the release of this Western Districts Baseball Club 60th Year Anniversary Training Shirt.

These 60 Year Anniversary Training Shirts are available in Adult and Youth sizes.  This is the first time we’ve made this design available in Adult sizes – normally a similar design is reserved just for our Rookie Ballers.

Each shirt is $45.

The 60th Anniversary marks the 1961 merger of Souths Baseball Club and Victory Baseball Club, together creating Victory Souths Baseball Club.

In 1970 the club changed its name to Western Districts Baseball Club and adopted the Curly “W” that we still use today, the “W” appears on the chest of these shirts.

The current Wests Baseball Logo is on the left sleeve and back.

Featured prominently on the back, the “Celebrating 60 Years” logo is unmistakable.

Blackchrome, our club’s uniform partner has manufactured these training shirts and stock has arrived and is available now. Shirts can be collected from the clubrooms by emailing Wendy Gaunt –  treasurer@westsbaseball.com.au

Postage will be available separately on request and at an additional cost.

Again first in will get the shirts – these are not a limited sale and we have around 85 shirts in stock of varying sizes.
