We compete at the highest level of play available to amateur baseball players including the Roy Hobbs World Series, AABC Regionals, Grand Forks International Tournament in Canada, MABL World Series and the NABF World Series.

Titles over our 26 year history include: Quatman Trophy Winners, TriState League Champions, CRC Suburban League Champions, AABC State Champions, Roy Hobbs AAA World Series Champions, Cincinnati RH League Champions in '05 and '06, NABF Regional Champs '06 and '04/'06/'08/'10 CRC City Champs.

Brent Wagner threw a gem in Game 1 on Saturday leading the Cobalts to a 2-0 win. AJ Thole with 2 doubles and Mike Gastrich uses his new 4-Leaf Clover to power a solo shot HR. (I guess CF gets boring for natural born catchers).

In game 2, both Thole and Gastrich knocked in runs again in a 3-2 victory. Josh Willaimson gets the W with relief help from Schunk and Stiggy, who also added 2 runs scored...Welcome back old Balt vet!

With a 15 run explosion in the second inning, the 26th version of your Cobalts began the 2012 campaign with a huge win!

Snoke gets the win, Moenter and Williamson finish it for an impressive 18-1 victory against the Cincinnati Royals.

Hitting was done by many including Thole, Kennedy, Gregory, Todd Taylor, Gastrich and rest of lineup!

Good start Balts!!!

Once again the Cobalts will celebrate Memorial Day with a game at the Professional Fifth Third Bank Stadium - home of the Dayton Dragons!

Game time is 12 noon. Fans can come as early as 11:30am but seating is limited to the first 8,000 who wear tube tops or daisy-dukes.

Opponent for the 9 inning game will be the CABL All Star Cougars.

Please only bring soft-sided coolers and canned beverages - NO GLASS PLEASE.

Free Parking in the left field service parking lot...enter thru main gates in front of stadium.

See everyone there!! 

Your Cobalts begin their 26th consecutive year of baseball on Tuesday night at Rosleawn Park, 8:30pm vs. Cincinnati Royals.

Not sure there has been this high a level of expectation for a Cobalt squad since '06 when the Toppers and Balts joined forces......this year should be one to remember!!!

Thanks to Mike Soto and his Meridians for hanging tough on a wet weekend of weather and playing some great baseball at McNick today.

Was good to knock the rust off and get some peaks at the incredible new talent that has gathered to wear the blue & gold this season and drink a few Natches with the Cobalt Vets who are ready to roll.

Exciting stuff coming your way soon!

Pieces are coming together.

Plans are in place.

And your Cobalts begin their Quest to a World Series title this Sunday in Pre-Season action at McNick HS.

Our favorite colors are Blue...no Gold! 

While our College-Age Cobalts are getting their reps in games, the Veteran 'Balts have begun Spring Workouts on the field and in the weight-room. Reports are that Deuce Hock has dramatically increased his squat-thrusts thru Latitudes late-night workouts  and Scrote (pictured left) has been building up his core-strength with P90x tapes and Natural Lite Aroma Therapy.

Anyway....the Cobalts take to the field on April 10th at McNicholas HS for pre-season scrimmage. The Regular Season will kick-off on May 22nd.

You Go Balts!

Thought it worth a quick update on topics/questions that are on many people's minds during this off-season:

* Yes, the CRC has invested in major repairs to the Roselawn Complex...now up to teams using it to keep in top shape.

* Yes, the CRC League has retained the rights to host the NABF Regional Tournament again in 2012.

* Yes, the World Series for NABF has moved to Buffalo, NY (instead of Derby City Louisville).

* Yes,  the AABC World Series has moved to Florida!!!

* Yes, as in some other year's past, there are attempts to create other leagues around the Greater Cincinnati area.

* Yes, they always come back because they find "schemers" cannot fulfill promises.

* Yes, your Cobalts are rebuilding...Better, Stronger, Faster. We have the technology! 

* Yes, Cobalts should get ready for another Road Trip!

Hot, Medium, or Mild Wings......Miller Lite or Bud Light.....Ranch or Blue Cheese.....

All some of the hard decisions your Cobalts faced at this year's Annual Winter Meeting.

The one usual question: "Are the Balt's Players & Coach up for another year?" was already answered. After 48 Natches following last season's final out it was determined that we're comin' back, and hell's comin' with us! (quote: Johnny Mulves)

Good to see Old Timers (even Pudge Mulves & Gilly) and Youngins together during the Holiday Season. We wish all friends, fans, and family a very safe and Merry Christmas. We'll see everyone again in 2012!

Cheers!

Coach
