Brief
History
In
the late 1920s, Sam Connor, Perc Mahoney, Stan Jenkins and Rev. A. P.
Dawson, saw a need to introduce a new recreational activity to
the community that involved family, fun, friendly rivalry and an
alternative to league football. It was for this reason that in
1929, the local Baptist Church formed the Port Melbourne
Baseball Club that has since moved from strength to strength.
In
1932, the Club was one of 11 that played in curtain raisers to
football establishing it baseball name. After 48 years, the Port
Melbourne Baseball Club, having received its reputable name, was
awarded its own clubrooms and field.
In
1999, PMBC embarked on a new era with the introduction of a
multi-year Strategic Plan, aimed to bring the club from a
regular Division 3 participant to a competitive Division 1 Club.
Business principles have been implemented to ensure stability
then growth is achieved. Initiatives so far include renaming
committee positions, providing specific duties to committee
members, re-branding the Club as the “Mariners”, introducing
a Teeball Program and increased promotion and sponsorship
efforts.
