Controversy

[edit]

In November 2008, the Pine Rivers Rapids club announced their interest in a breakaway league from the Greater Brisbane League that Baseball Queensland runs. The controversy arose before the start of the 2008–2009 season when Pine Rivers amongst other high-profile clubs, were warned that they are in danger of not meeting GBL Major League criteria which enables them to have a team in the top three divisions of Queensland baseball. The 'mutiny' is led by club committee members, Derek Harvey and Peter Dutton, father of Australian baseballer Brad Dutton.[1]

The push for a breakaway league as of December, 2008 seems to have died off with all big Greater Brisbane League clubs declaring their support for Baseball Queensland including Redcliffe Padres, Narangba Demons, Redlands Baseball Club and Pine Hills Lightning.[2] On 31 November 2008, Rapids forfeited their 3rd Major B game of the season which according to GBL breach of forfeit rules:

  • 1st breach - notified more than 48 hours $50.00
  • 1st breach - not notified $100.00
  • 2nd breach $200.00
  • 3rd breach Removed from competition

And without a team in Major A, B and C, a club cannot qualify for Major League criteria (see GBL Major League Criteria). This left Baseball Queensland in a compromising position whether to kick Major A leaders, Pine Rivers Rapids out of Major League or continue to be criticised by other clubs for not following through with GBL By-Laws.
