Grant Weir - Victorian Women’s Baseball Team 25th Anniversary

In 1999 in the western suburbs of Melbourne, 20 of the best women’s baseball players in Victoria would step onto the artificial turf at Melbourne Ballpark in Altona which would begin a legacy that remains unrivalled in the sport in Australia today. 

The event - the inaugural Australian Women's Championships.

The team - the Victorian Women's Team.

The coach - Grant Weir. 

Weir’s squad reigned supreme with an unbeaten run across the first three Australian Championships held from 1999-2001 in Melbourne and Sydney’s Blacktown Olympic Park.

So how did it all begin?
