On Saturday, 20 September, the Baseball Queensland community gathered at the Hotel Grand Chancellor, Spring Hill, to celebrate the 2025 Hall of Fame and Awards Dinner. The evening brought together players, coaches, officials, volunteers, families, and supporters in recognition of the achievements and contributions that make baseball in Queensland so great.

We extend our sincere thanks to our valued event sponsors — Leading Edge Sports, The Ballpark Portside, and The Brisbane Bandits — for their generous support in making this event possible. A special thank you also goes to Studio Honsa for capturing the memorable moments on film and to Ben Foster, whose energy and professionalism as MC guided the evening’s celebrations.

The highlight of the night was the induction of Mal Mackay into the Baseball Queensland Hall of Fame, recognising his outstanding contributions as an umpire and leader in the game.

We also proudly acknowledged three new Distinguished Service Award recipients — Barry Foat, Keith Land, and Steven Landsberg — for their long-standing dedication and impact on baseball in Queensland. Congratulations are also extended to all other nominees and winners of the 2025 Baseball Queensland Annual Awards, whose achievements represent excellence across all areas of our sport.

Finally, Baseball Queensland recognises and thanks all those who make our game possible—our volunteers, officials, participants, and supporters. Your passion, hard work, and commitment are the foundation of our sport’s success, and this evening was a celebration of your collective efforts as much as of the award recipients themselves.
