Team's History

As told by Kostas Arvanitis:

"My brother Billy and I used to play soccer at the abandoned baseball field located at the old American base in Hellinikon. One day, we found a few American guys playing baseball and they invited us to play with them. They advised us to get our gloves so that they could teach us how to play. After making a habit of meeting to play ball, we asked our dad if he would be willing to officially register a baseball team if we were to recruit enough players to fill up the field. He agreed and we got ourselves a team!"

The team is based in Glyfada and was originally established in 1980, also featuring several other sports departments including:

• Softball
• Tennis
• Wrestling
• Weight Lifting
• Triathlon
• Road & Mountain Biking
• Judo

The founder and president of Spartakos is Andreas Arvanitis, who is also a member in the Greek Olympic Commitee and the General Secretary of the Triathlon Federation of Greece.

The Spartakos Baseball team has participated in the local Greek Baseball League since its addition to the Spartakos family in the year 2000. Since the very beginning, Spartakos has been playing some of the best baseball in Greece.
