Can anyone help with any history of the Yallourn Baseball Club? They "lived" on No 5 Oval on Eastern Road. Any photos would be good. I have just created the Group because, until Mark D'Alterio told me last week, I didn't know Yallourn had a baseball club.

YBC uniform was Navy Blue
YBC uniform was Navy Blue with white 'Yallourn' across the chest with navy pants and socks with 3 white hoops around the socks.
As per other post I played Under 16s with YBC and players included Rob & Ross Barnes, Trevor Williamson, Ray Williams, Mark D'alterio and myself - that I can remember.
Frank, Peter & Rod all played 'A' Grade with my bother Greg.
