The Interstate Baseball League is pleased to announce our partnership with Infinity Pro Sports. They will be handling the design and maintenance of the League website and all team websites involved with the IBL.   Their professionalism and expertise in creating a product unparalleled to the competitors made it an easy choice to compliment the Interstate Baseball League’s goal of producing a professional, first-class, engaging image for its fans.  

Infinity Pro Sports is a division of UK Advertising, Inc. based in College Station, Texas.   They were developed with the intention to devote their full efforts and attention to the sports industry. Since the creation of this division, over two years ago, the company has blossomed and mushroomed on the scene experiencing tremendous growth within Minor League Baseball, Hockey, Soccer, Arena Football, and now the Interstate Baseball League. We are very happy to have them aboard. 

For years, college baseball players all throughout the United States have aspired to reach the next level and get paid for something that they love to do and have work so diligently to master. Claiming a roster spot with a franchise in Major League Baseball is something that they have all wanted to attain since they were very young.

Despite the odds being against many of these players making the cut, no matter what level of college ball they played, there are only so many roster spots available to enter into the professional ranks, and while young athletes continue to dream big, getting noticed and signed to a professional contract can sometimes seem rather bleak.

The alternative is the Interstate Baseball League.

The Interstate Baseball League gives athletes the opportunity to showcase their talents and just play baseball. That has been the goal of the Interstate Baseball League since its inception. With so many quality amateur baseball players out there and limited options for them to continue to play post-college, the IBL provides an opportunity for those who went unnoticed or overlooked. The Interstate Baseball League will provide a platform for young athletes looking for that edge that they may not have gotten earlier in their baseball careers. Scouts will now have another source of talent from which to draw from that may have slipped past them in earlier years.

The IBL will be a league of growth. Not only catering to those players with something to prove, but it will also serve as a positive focus for players that are still passionate about the game that they grew up with. The Interstate Baseball League will give aspiring professional athletes a chance to advance and make the most out of their career being a ball player.

The inaugural season of the Interstate Baseball League is set to begin play in May, 2013 

The Interstate Baseball League (IBL) has announced that the inaugural 2012 season will be pushed back and begin in May of 2013. This announcement will ensure that the league will have the proper amount of time to promote and market the teams in each IBL market. League officials stress the importance of the delay to allow all team owners the proper amount of time to operate effectively and create a standard for long term success. 

The Interstate Baseball League (IBL) is pleased to announce the hiring of Rob Ducey as League Commissioner. The Commissioner position is an important role to the success of the Interstate Baseball League and Founder Scott Gresser and Executive Director Chris Petersen have spent many late nights to land the right candidate.

Rob brings over 25 years of professional baseball experience to the Interstate Baseball League. As a Professional, he played for 6 Major League teams spanning over 13 years. He played internationally in both Japan and Venezuela. He represented his native country of Canada both as a player and a Coach in 2 Summer Olympics. After his playing career was over, he went into player development with the Montreal Expos, New York Yankees and an Academy in Latin America. He has also been a Professional scout for the Toronto Blue Jays and the Tampa Bay Rays.

Rob will be able to draw from all of his experience to help the IBL develop into a first rate Professional League.



The Interstate Baseball League has announced that the Sarasota Dragons organization has been suspended indefinitely due to their organization's failure to comply with the Leagues operating procedures. The suspension of the Dragons organization was unanimously voted on by league officials and became effective December 1, 2011.
The IBL is in talks with numerous ownership groups, some of them that are looking to possibly take over the Sarasota territory, as we prepare for the inaugural season to begin.   

The league has gone through a few changes and we would now like to welcome you to the Interstate Baseball League .  Formerly known as the Gulf Coast Baseball League, our decision to change the name of the league enhances the league's originality and distinction to be an identity that stands all on its own.  Many of our close followers and potential owners love the new name and see the immediate fit to work well with any of the territories and teams interested in joining the league.  We are really excited about the traction that we're seeing with all the league inquiries and support that we are receiving from all of our fans.  Stay tuned as we continue the growth and success within the league to make this a long lasting success.

The Gulf Coast Baseball League (GCBL) is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement to name New Era as the Official cap of the GCBL. 

The New Era Cap Company is the largest and fastest growing headwear manufacturer in the United States.  New Era has an 88-year-old tradition of creating quality products that transcend time, culture, sport and fashion. Although New Era is rooted in sports heritage as the official on-field cap of Major League Baseball, they have evolved into a brand that can be seen on the runways of Paris during Fashion Week and in hundreds of music videos on MTV.  New Era is seen as an iconic brand that celebrities, entertainers, musicians and athletes are seen wearing today, and the Gulf Coast Baseball League is proud to have them as a partner.



The Gulf Coast Baseball League (GCBL) is pleased to announce that Sarasota, Florida has been awarded the second expansion market for the inaugural 2012 season.  The new Sarasota team will be known as the Dragons.

Sarasota, FL joins Hattiesburg, MS as the first two expansion markets for the inaugural 2012 season.  The GCBL will be announcing additional markets in the next few weeks.



The Hattiesburg Hounds will be hosting the "Heroes and Hounds" charity golf outing on November 7, 2011.  Hounds staff members and players as well as members from the GCBL league office will be on hand to meet with fans and help raise money for a great cause.  Times and location will be announced on the Hounds website, hattiesburg-hounds.com, soon.
