History
Founded in 2003 by a local enthusiast, the team was originally named the Birmingham Maple Leafs. This was an homage to the members of the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps who were based at No.7 Canadian General Hospital in Marston Green,[1] and took up baseball as recreation.
The club changed its name to the Birmingham Bandits in 2014[2] and competed at both AA and AAA levels within the British baseball system.
The club changed its name again in 2020, with the team becoming the Birmingham Metalheads, referencing the musical heritage of the region.[3] In 2023, the club launched a second team, the Birmingham Bats, and in 2024 began their youth programme, the Birmingham GOATs.
In 2024, the Birmingham Metalheads won the BBF Summer Cup Silver Level and the WMBL championship.[4] [5]
