About Us and the League

The Richmond Hill Men’s Recreational Baseball League was founded in 1985. Being a Softball town, Richmond Green was born with Richmond Hill’s first hardball diamond. League founders Bob Barton, Mark Tulloch, Scott Ross and John Leonard started the RHMRBL with 4 teams, mostly comprised of local 20-something year old men looking to play like the Blue Jays. Enough of the 13 inch beach ball…let’s play “real” baseball. The new league played its games on the weekend and was sponsored by Terry Robertson, great friend to the RHMRBL…and not a bad player!!!

Now in it’s 24th season, the RHMRBL has 6 teams with players ranging from 19 to our Garbe brothers…in their early 70’s. Our league is open to all sizes, shapes and ability. We play a competitive but fun game and always return to the parking lot for a post-game beverage. We have a World Series, an All-Star Game and an annual golf tournament. Our season always starts with the RHMRBL Spring Training Tournament before the May long weekend, a great way to meet your new teammates, get your new “major league replica” uniform and play some ball.

As one of 2 original players remaining, the other being founder Bob Barton, the RHMRBL is a family. A group of friends of all ages that get together twice a week for some exercise and competition…the odd beer too!!! We play at Richmond Green in Richmond Hill on Thursday and Friday nights & again on Sunday afternoon. We may not move as fast as we once did and some of our waist sizes have increased, but we love this game and the Richmond Hill Men’s Recreational Baseball League gives us a chance to fulfill our dream, play some “real” ball, and don’t get hurt!!!
