    Your friendly little forum bot. Staff Member

    This article has been imported from chorus.fm for discussion. All of the forum rules still apply.

    This week’s sponsor is near and dear to my heart.

    Let me introduce you to the Mordialloc Ducks Baseball Club from Australia and the two new baseball caps that are now up for sale. And, to learn even more about them, here’s an introduction in their own words:

    We’re the Mordialloc Ducks Baseball Club, the Little Baseball Club That Could. Based in the South-East suburbs of Melbourne, Australia, we’re a small amateur not-for-profit baseball club that focuses on growing baseball through socially enjoyable games rather than highly-competitive coaching. Half of our players had never played baseball before, but they’ve fallen in love with it.

    Because we are the Little Baseball Club That Could, we sometimes do fun and audacious things that usually only the big clubs do, like creating highlight videos and designing New Era caps. We’ve had two 59FIFTY caps created, one with our on-field cap logo, and the other celebrating our mascot Quack Daniels, which we are selling through our website.

    The team was founded in 2018 by a longtime AbsolutePunk and Chorus reader, and if you’d like to know more, you can follow them on Instagram and Facebook.

    This post is provided by our weekly sponsor. More information about sponsored posts and advertising on this website can be found here.

    Hi everyone!

    Thanks for the writeup Jason! I'm glad I've been able to support Chorus.fm after 15 years of daily news checking. Most of the music I love I found through AbsolutePunk and Chorus, so it's been a big part of my life for a long time.

    In Ducks news, the team played their hearts out in yesterday's summer league grand final, but in the end came in as runners-up in our division.

    If you were hoping to purchase a cap, or if you're in Melbourne and are thinking of giving baseball a go, let me know if you have any questions :)

    Cheers
    Ben

    Hopefully these are still available in a few weeks. I'm moving soon and will order one once I get settled there.

    Also, I tweeted at Neil Paine - sportswriter and podcaster for FiveThirtyEight who loves baseball and hats - and this was his response. So he might be picking one up too, and they often talk about his hats on the podcast:

    Wow thanks so much for that!

    If the shipping costs are too much let me know... the cap and shipping costs are all listed in AUD, but I understand they may still be expensive for those in the US.
