A photograph of the 1978 Western Australian baseball team who competed in the Australian Baseball Championship Claxton Shield Series at Perry Park in Brisbane. The colour photo is mounted on light-brown cardboard. There are hand-written inscriptions in black ink above the photograph and on the back of the mounting board.
In the photograph the following people are identified:

The 1978 Claxton Shield was the 39th Claxton Shield and was held in Brisbane, Queensland. South Australia's decade may well have been the 1960s, but the 1970s belonged to Western Australia who captured a title in 1975 and a hattrick from 1977 to 1979 thanks to what was arguably one of the strongest Claxton squads of all time.
