Panathinaikos B.C. wins 2014 Greek Baseball Championship

Posted on by philipp

The Greek Championship finished this past weekend and the new Greek Champion is: PANATHINAIKOS B.C.

This was the first year in which Panathinaikos fielded a baseball team. This team was primarily comprised of players from the disbanded SPARTAKOS A.S. team, but it also included several new players who wanted to be part of the Panathinaikos baseball team.

The final standings of the Greek league for 2014 are:

1st Place: PANATHINAIKOS B.C.
2nd Place: MAROUSI 2004
3rd Place: EVRYALY
4th Place: ARIS
5th Place: MILONAS
6th Place: OLYMPIADA
7th Place: LEADERS*
8th Place: DIAS

The best of 5 championship finals brought PANATHINAIKOS and last year’s champions MAROUSI 2004 together to determine the Greek champion for 2014. Unfortunately, internal issues and internal bickering amongst the players and administration of the Marousi team resulted with the unprecedented forfeiture of the championship to PANATHINAIKOS. The Marousi team simply did not show up to play in each of the first 3 scheduled games and Panathinaikos won each of those games by the standard forfeit score of 9 – 0.

  1. THE TRUTH IS:
    Because Greece is giving “points” to kids to enter the universities if they ranked in any sport, 1st, 2nd, 3rd position, and because only athletes who played at least half the games, can take the points….
    Marousi and Panathinaikos Directors came to agreement, to sell games so kids that where “paying” their way into the universities, to enter games and get the participation needed.
    Marousi players, decided that they will not participate in this theater, and never played.
    Matters is now in court.
    Final cherry on top…………… :
    –> Ministry of sports officially DISSOLVED the Baseball and the SOFTBALL federations in GREECE.
    There is no more Baseball federation, nor Softball federation.
    The official ministry press releases can be red in the ministry site in Greek below (use translator):
