Baseball Express, the oldest continuously operating online baseball store in the country, is celebrating its 30th year in business in 2020.
Originally called Southwest Baseball Supply, Baseball Express started out as a small retail shop in San Antonio, TX in 1990. In 1992, Baseball Express became one of the first companies to achieve national distribution with its product catalog reaching every high school baseball coach in the U.S. and Canada. The catalog is still distributed each season. In 1996, BaseballExpress.com launched, becoming one of the first online outlets of baseball equipment and apparel.
“Baseball Express has been synonymous with America’s pastime for more than a generation,” said Brian Eick, president of Baseball Express. “Baseball has changed so much over the last 30 years. Just look at how players are evaluated now and all the new technology that’s available to help your launch angle or get a better spin rate on a pitch. Or even bat regulations at the amateur level come to mind. The game is constantly changing. But we are proud to be one of the few constants. We are now serving the children of the players that grew up with us. We are extremely humbled to still be a large part of a game we all love and we couldn’t be happier to be celebrating this milestone.”
Baseball Express, along with its sister sites Team Express, Softball.com, Softball Fans, and Football America, is a member of Concourse Holdings LLC and is one of the largest baseball specialty stores in the country.
Along with offering special deals, Baseball Express will also be creating exclusive content and retrospectives looking back on the last 30 years in baseball and at the company throughout the month of February. More information is available at BaseballExpress.com/Anniversary.
