Manchester A's are an English amateur baseball team based in South Manchester situated in the North West region of England, playing in the British Northern League under the British Baseball Federation.

Recent history

Since 1998 Manchester A's have built up a core of experienced veterans, with players such as Marchment, Gunn, Jackson and Marginson there is no shortage of advice for learning rookies and the team has built a strong squad around the veteran presence. In 2007 this resulted in the team reaching the .524 mark for the first time since 2004. In 2008 the A's managed to cement their position within the new BBF league structure. The A's secured first place within the first month of the season and won fixtures against division rivals Bolton Robots of Doom and the newly formed Oldham North Stars. Manchester attempted to match their 2007 out of division success when facing AAA opponents but sadly could only manage a single win against the Humber Pilots.The 2008 season also introduced the newly formed Northern Challenge Cup and the A's completed the opening rounds with wins against Liverpool Trojans, Oldham North Stars and most likely the best performance of the season against the [Sheffield Bladerunners] . On the 6th September 2008 the A's played in the AA playoff semi finals against Enfield Sidewinders, it wasn't to be Manchesters day as the Sidewinders brought good pitching and hit the gaps in the outfield to secure the lead early on. The game ended 19-2.
