Netherlands Baseball Divisie - Elite 12:

The Beginning
'a recap of the 1970 season

A need for success put instant pressure not only on the NBD as a competition but all 12 teams as they would be judged on a national stage and not only by their own fanbase. This underlying motive ensured that the opening season of the Elite 12 would be memorable for its competitive nature as well as the first Elite Series falling to one of the provincial clubs.

Following the opening draft where by teams picked from the eligible pool of talent, the season began in ernest in March 1970 as all 12 team set off on an unknown road to their eventual destiny.

After a frantic start the league soon found itself housing a mini split, 6 teams would put themselves in contention as the season progressed and infact the season would end with just 6 games seperating the top 6 teams, leaving the league with a final week of suspense.

Initially it appeared that the powerful Rotterdam Cowboys would break away from the pack and take home the division pennant and secure a place in the Elite Series, however a mid season slump saw them fall back from the race leaving 3 teams to duke it out exchanging positions up until the final day.

Dordrecht Patrol would find themselves as the unfortunate losers in the race, as the Leidschendam-Voorburg Archers clinched the leagues best record just 1 game ahead of 2nd place Zoetemeer Bluejays. The 2 teams would then meet up in the Amstel Elite Series as the Bluejays would upset the Archers 3-2 and become the Netherlands first ever professional champions.
