Happy New Year MMIX

CBA begins its 28th season of regulated cosmic baseball play on March 15.

In honor of the 44th U.S. Presidential Inaugural festivities, the Cosmic Baseball Research Alliance will be sponsoring an open house and escort services at its national headquarters from January 20-22. COBRA is located in between the National Mall (4 blocks north) and Nationals Park (4 blocks east).

Personal Cosmic Baseball Game
44th Presidential Inaugural Game

This game was originally scheduled to be played in Nationals Park, the home field of the Washington Nationals, a team in Major League Baseball's National League. However, the game's venue has been moved to the Washington Presidents home field, Lafayette Park. Roster Tables for the teams are below and a personal cosmic Game Report will be published when the game has been completed.

Cosmic Baseball Teams
Planets Petition for Pluto

On December 1, the team submitted a new formal request in the form of a petition. The petition requests that Pluto and four other officially recognized dwarf planets be made eligible to play on the team during Season 2009.

The four other dwarfs named in the petition are Ceres, Eris, Makemake and Haumea.

CBA's rules stipulate that only officially recognized "planets" are eligible for the Astronomical Planets team as players. The Earth's Sun, and the Earth's satellite, the Moon, are also eligible despite the fact that they are not planets. (Earlier petitions for satellites of other planets, such as the moons of Mars, have been denied.)

The issue hinges on scientific community conventions and cosmic baseball traditions. A ten-player roster does not meet the minimum set by the CBA for teams in the regulated playing leagues. The Planets, including last season's exception for Pluto, had a roster of eleven players.

The bottom line right now is that if the petition is rejected and Pluto cannot play, the Planets will not be eligible to play regulated cosmic baseball in 2009.
