History

Tampere's rise to the top of the men's Superpesis map was long awaited, dating back to the early 1990s, when the Finnish Baseball Association set out its ambitious metropolitan vision. The vision was not realised until 2020, when Manse PP won the First Division and was promoted to Superpesis. After the promotion, the club had to significantly strengthen its team, as there is a considerable difference in level between the First Division and Superpesis.^[2] Manse PP won the Finnish baseball championship by beating Kouvola in the fifth final in 2021.^[3]
