Welcome to the SBL's blog!

Hello, and welcome to the blog home for the Sun Baseball League. The league was created in 1983 and this year celebrates its 28th season! This, however, will be its first season with blog representation.

The draft for the 2009 season took place on Wednesday, April 1 at the lovely and newly renovated home of Gregg Patton, who was kind enough to serve as host for at least the fifth consecutive time.

Here is a complete list of the 2009 draft.
