Help us recover our history. If you have ANY information about the founding and/or continuation of our former leagues, please send email to frengel@ymail.com.

Our Club formally adopted the name Pasadena Baseball Club in 2002 with the legal merger of four youth baseball groups in our community of Pasadena.  The Riviera Little League began operation in 1953, one of the oldest organized youth baseball organizations in Maryland. With increasing population around George Fox Middle school, the Havenwood Little League was started in 1972 and played games at Havenwood Park and George Fox. Both leagues were affiliated with Little League (R) baseball and competed against each other in Little League tournaments.

In 1975, the Pasadena Clinic League was started initially to provide non-competitive Tee ball, but later expanded to Coach Pitch and Kid Pitch divisions. The Riviera Clinic League was started in 2001 as a Tee Ball feeder league for the Riviera Little League. Neither clinic leagues were affiliated with national organizations.

All four leagues were still in continuous operation in the fall of 2002 when the Boards of each organization met to discuss improving youth baseball in our community. After numerous meetings and lengthy discussions, it was decided to merge all four leagues into a single organization under a new name, the Pasadena Baseball Club. The memberships of all four organizations approved the merger, with the PBC Board of Directors to be composed of an equal number of voting members from the four prior leagues for the first two years.

The first season under the name of Pasadena Baseball Club was the spring season of 2003, and the PBC has been operating Clinic, Intramural, and Travel teams each spring and fall season since then.  Also since then, the Club completed two clinic backstops at Meadow Road in Riviera Beach, built a coach pitch field at Havenwood Park, and constructed a two-tunnel batting cage with pitching machine, and a new concessions/restrooms/meeting-room at Havenwood Park.
