Boys Will Be Back!

Breaking every Semi Pro record known to exist, your Cincinnati Cobalts begin their 24th Consecutive Year of Baseball in the Queen City.

At the now semi-famous annual Hooter Winter Meeting, Cobalts of Old and New gathered to agree on suiting up another year in the CRC.

So, as the crappy midwest weather drags on, Cobalt Fans from coast-to-coast can warm their hearts knowing that the Boys From Natti (and even ol' Coach) will be on the diamond again this Summer.

Cheers to Baseball...Again!!!

The Cobalts did not travel this Fall as a team but a few of the boys helped-out the Sting (many long-time diamond friends) win the AAAA Division 25+ Roy Hobbs championship in Ft. Myers, FLA this weekend.

Congrats to Coach Joe Calagaris and all the Natti Boys who got it done...including: Tom & Todd Taylor, Prosser Brothers, Rex Baker, Jeff Sanders, J-Love, Andy Stalworth, and Scotty Phair.

Nice Job Guys!!!

Cobalt "Spuds" to Hall of Fame

Posted by Mark Dietz at Oct 7, 2009 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )

As many in Cobalt Nation know, Chris Sabo helped the launch the 'Balts into what has become a great 23 year run of "semi pro" baseball in Cincinnati. And during an injury rehab stint in the mid 1990's, Sabo even donned the Cobalt Uniform and played with the boys.

Since his rookie season, Chris and a few of the founding Cobalts have been friends. Several (JD and Q) even served as groomsmen in his wedding.

We congratulate the MLB All Star, Rookie of the Year, World Champion, and Cobalt Teammate on taking his rightful place in Reds history as one of the all-time greats.

Cheers to you, Sabes!

Cobalts opened the Regional Tournament exactly how they didn't need to - with an extra inning, pitcher eating, nail-biting, Loss. Chiefs take advantage of late inning miscues and walks to take game 1 of Pool Play.

Then the Cobalts wheel out the crafty veterans.

Paully takes the hill and after a rough first inning, throws a complete game win over Frankfurt Hogs. Tom Taylor leads offensive burst with 2 HRs.

Then Morgan's turn - he goes all 7 in a big win over Xenia Trophy....Cobalts Advance to Final 4!

Squaring off against Portland, IN Rockets on Saturday in the Semi Finals, the Cobalts run dry on arms and go down in defeat...'Balts done with another 3rd place NABF Regional Tournament finish and falling short of trip to Derby City.

Jet Box beats Portland and goes to Louisville eventually winning their second title in 3 years.
