The Keene Swamp Bats are a collegiate summer baseball team based in Keene, New Hampshire. The team, a member of the New England Collegiate Baseball League (of which they are the current defending champions), plays their home games at Alumni Field. In the NECBL, they are consistently one of the top teams and have reached the league playoffs in each of the past ten seasons. The team also has one of the largest fan bases in the league. Since 2002, they have led the NECBL in attendance three times and have finished outside the top two teams in attendance only once. This attendance is facilitated by Alumni Field's having the largest official capacity of any NECBL ballpark.

Famous quotes containing the words swamp and/or bats:
“This swamp is a monument to death. Snakes, alligators, quicksand, all bent on one thing: destruction.”

“While I wrought out these fitful Danaan rhymes,
My heart would brim with dreams about the times
When we bent down above the fading coals
And talked of the dark folk who live in souls
Of passionate men, like bats in the dead trees....”
