Historical information

This Baseball Development Foundation Shield was awarded to the West Australian Baseball League's Colts Grade Minor Premiers from 1992 until season 1998/99.

With the amalgamation of the West Australian Baseball League Inc. (WABL) and the Baseball Development Foundation Inc. (BDF) on 5 May 1999, Baseball WA Ltd (BWA) was formed. Because of the changes to the League, this shield was replaced with another trophy bearing Baseball WA's name.
