2021 was a difficult season in the National Baseball League (NBL) - Britain's top league - for the Herts Baseball Club's flagship team, the Herts Falcons. Despite trending on social media on both sides of the Atlantic for their memorable 11 runs in the final inning against the London Legends, that proved to be their only win out of 30 league games this year. The club has just published some details of Herts Falcons’ plans for the 2022 NBL season.
The team has had an illustrious 26-year history and has been a member of the NBL since 2009 after the Falcons won promotion as the Triple-A League National Champions in 2008.
Herts has just launched its recruitment campaign with the aim of rebuilding the Falcons squad in time for the 2022 NBL season.
Furthermore, with the project to build the new Basing Hill Ballpark in North West London making excellent progress, this recruitment drive will also aim to sign-up players with a view to making the Herts Londoners the club’s second team to join the NBL.
Apart from players, the club is also inviting candidates for team manager.
Club President Aspi Dimitrov said: “This is an opportunity for players who are looking to compete in the NBL to play for one of the biggest baseball clubs in Britain with nearly 200 registered players this year and over 700 that have worn the Herts jersey over the last 26 years. We are inviting not only elite players with experience in the top leagues, but we are particularly interested to work with young players and those who may not have played in the top league yet, with a view to giving them the opportunity and the necessary game time to develop in the NBL.”
