Meet the ABL's first family

This is a picture of your typical Aussie baseball family whose only prerequisite to join is a sense of humour and unwavering commitment to the game. At present, there are six Pinders - four Australian, one American, and one Italian, not including the occasional Japanese umpire.

The dedication of rare families such as the Pinders is the foundation of the Australian Baseball League; the rosters are currently littered with sets of brothers: the Blue Sox Monoroas, Heat's Kennellys and our very own Duttons. The Nilsson empire is a perfect example of Australian baseball communities at their best.

Brisbane Bandits Volunteer Coordinator, Carla Pinder spearheads one of the hardest working families in the ABL. "I am blessed to have such a terrific family," Carla explains. "Of course we all work well together, I am very lucky". Husband David, daughter Em and son Toby are all volunteers for a second season with the Bandits.
