The Adelaide Giants were one of the foundation members of the now defunct Australian Baseball League. They competed in all 10 seasons but however never once made the leagues final playoff series. They also have the novelty of winning the first ever ABL match against the Perth Heat in the 1989–90 season. The club was also an affiliate to the Los Angeles Dodgers throughout its ten year history.
Andrew Scott holds the ABL and club record for most appearances, 469 games total in the league.
Famous quotes containing the word giants:
“But can see better there, and laughing there
Pity the giants wallowing on the plain.
...
Pygmies expand in cold impossible air,
Cry fie on the giantshine, poor glory which
Pounds breast-bone punily, screeches, and has
Reached no Alps: or, knows no Alps to reach.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
