Cologne Cardinals Sports Club e.V., commonly referred to as the Cologne Cardinals, is a German baseball team based in Cologne. The Cardinals compete in the Baseball-Bundesliga as a member of the Bundesliga Nord. The team was founded in 1983, and have won one championship, coming in 1990.

History

[edit]

The Cologne Cardinals were founded in 1983, splitting from the now-defunct Cologne Dodgers. They won their lone championship in 1990, defeating the rival Dodgers 2-1 in the "Cologne City Duel". In 1992, the Cardinals were moved from the Southern division to the Northern division, which they subsequently won.[1]

In 2024, the team hired an experienced head coach, Alex Baham, in an attempt to win the league once more.
