The Edinburgh Baseball club has undergone three name changes since it was formed in 1986. The team was first named Edinburgh Royals until the 1989 season when the name was changed to Edinburgh Reivers. This name did not help the team as we were mistaken for Edinburgh's Rugby Team. From the beginning of season 1999, the team has changed it's name once again to the current name Edinburgh Diamond Devils. The team now has over 30 senior players and 20 juniors players and 5 coaches, All registered.

For the profiles of the seniors go to the profiles page for a full listing of the players. Each profile had the players name, number, position, as well as other personal information. Some of the players are on the committee of executives.

The Team is also involved in promoting baseball as a sport city-wide (Edinburgh ONLY) in schools with Pitch, Hit & Run.  More information on Baseball Promotions Page.

A new scheme set-up for 1999 is a Four Team Youth League in Edinburgh. This scheme should ensure the development of the sport in the city of Edinburgh.
