In the wake of a disastrous 2026 season the Mildenhall Baseball Club did what all teams do when facing the abyss, they went into rebuilding mode.  And for the third time in franchise history they have emerged in two seasons or less as perhaps the OTBA’s most improbable playoff team.  Last season’s club tried to hang on with [...]

2024 marks the 20th season the R-Jay franchise has played baseball in Mildenhall.  After spending an uneventful season in Fist City, Kurt Bevacqua took over the team and moved it to Mildenhall.
The experiment of moving baseball to the United Kingdom has proven to be a rousing success.  In 19 seasons the club has made 10 [...]
