Northern Virginia Knights:  The History

The Northern Virginia Knights are no longer the new kids on the block. The Fall '06 League Champions have become a perennial powerhouse in a league featuring some of the most competitive semi-pro baseball around: the National Adult Baseball Association's Washington DC wooden bat league (NABA-DC Wood).

The Knights' legacy began in the Fall of 2005, when eighteen young men, with baseball experience ranging from high school to pro, and diverse career fields including military officers, intelligence officers, rock stars, airline pilots, engineers, contractors, teachers, and builders, dusted off idle arms and bats, laced up old and worn cleats, and came out to play ball. They braved the scorching late summer heat and gridlocked DC traffic, and were the founding squad of the Northern Virginia Knights.

In the seasons that followed, the Knights established themselves among the upper echelon of teams in NABA DC. They have gained the respect of the league and their peers for the professionalism, integrity, and attitude they bring to each game. They show up to play ball, and have a great time doing it.

The Spring/Summer 2008 season will be the Knights' greatest challenge to date, as they find themselves in a division with the top teams in the area. But with a talented veteran core and promising rookie prospects, the Knights look forward to meeting that challenge head-on.

Look for the Knights to continue to make an impact in NABA DC and build upon an already impressive legacy. Hold the Rope!
