-After a number of years without an organised baseball body in the state, a league was re-formed in 2007 with the hopes of re-igniting baseball in the state.

-== History ==
-Baseball reached its peak in Tasmania during the 1970s and 1980s, with a league in both [[Hobart]] and [[Launceston, Tasmania|Launceston]].  However, by the late 80’s, the Launceston league was forced to disband as league started to lack players to fill the teams.  The Hobart league lasted until the early 90’s before it folded due to financial troubles.
-There was no organised baseball in Tasmania after the collapse of the Hobart league, until 2007, a group of Masters players got together with the goal of re-instating a league in the state's capital of [[Hobart]].  This was primarily driven by a group of Masters players who had been involved in the previous incarnation of Baseball Tasmania many years ago and wished to re-start a baseball league in Tasmania.
-After some initial open days, the new league was launched in October 2007 with 4 teams: Red Sox, Whitesox, Blue Jays and Green Bays.  The Blue Jays won the first ever game of new league.
-Two seasons were run in the original summer, with a season being run until the [[Christmas]] break in December and then a new season running from January until March.
-== Season 2007-2008 Part 1 (Pre-Christmas) ==
-'''Teams'''
-* Red Sox
-* Whitesox
-* Blue Jays
-* Green Bays
-The first season of the new league was a successful twilight league, with Sunday games occurring for the season opener and the finals series.  After a relatively easy season, the Blue Jays were inaugurated as the league's first champion after defeating the Whitesox in the Grand Final.
-== Season 2007-2008 Part 2 (Post-Christmas) ==
-'''Teams'''
-* Red Sox
-* Whitesox
-* Blue Jays
-* Green Bays
-* Gold Diggers
-* <s>Orange Ruffies</s>
-After some post-Christmas talent re-distribution and the creation of a fifth (the Gold Diggers) and sixth (the Orange Ruffies) team, the second season was a much closer affair and though the Blue Jays once again met the Whitesox in the Grand Final, the 'Sox would exact revenge for the first season loss.  The Orange Ruffies would fold after just 2 games due to over-stretched playing personnel across all the teams and would be replaced with a Tasmanian Masters side that would play the Ruffies' scheduled opponent in an exhibition game for the remainder of the season.
-== Season 2008-2009 ==
-'''Teams'''
-* Red Sox
-* Whitesox
-* Blue Jays
-* Athletics (previously Green Bays)
-* <s>Royals</s> (previously Gold Diggers)
-The 2008-2009 season started with five teams but after only two weeks, the Royals team was folded due to lack of numbers and the remaining players were moved into the four original teams.  Over 18 recorded rounds of competition, the league became divided with the Whitesox and Blue Jays once again fighting for the top spot while the Red Sox and Athletics showed positive signs but quickly lost touch with the other two teams.  The Whitesox would go on to win the Grand Final, once again facing the Blue Jays.
-== Champions ==
-* Season I (2007): '''Blue Jays''' defeated Whitesox
-* Season II (2008): '''Whitesox''' defeated Blue Jays
-* Season III (2008–2009): '''Whitesox''' defeated Blue Jays
