1989 Claxton Shield Series baseball signed by Western Australian team
c. 1989This Rawlings baseball has been signed by the Western Australian team that competed at the 1989 Claxton Shield Series championship in Sydney.
The 1989 Claxton Shield Series was the 50th annual Claxton Shield and the final Shield in its traditional State format before the Australian Baseball League (1989–1999) was formed. The participants were South Australia, New South Wales Patriots, Victoria Aces, Western Australia and Northern Territory, with the incumbent back-to-back champions Queensland absent. The tournament was held in Sydney over 12 days at Oriole Park, rather than a home and away series. The hosts' New South Wales team were the champions.
