MEET THE FAABL TEAMS
ADULT BASEBALL TEAMS IN FAIRBANKS, AK
WHERE RIVALRIES RUN DEEP & EVERY JERSEY TELLS A STORY
The Fairbanks Adult Amateur Baseball League (FAABL) is built on a franchise model. Each year, teams compete in a full summer season under MLB rules using wood bats, 7-inning games, and a spirit of camaraderie and competition.
FAABL fields three core franchises: the Ice Men, Pirates, and Spruce. Each represents a unique identity, style of play, and history in Fairbanks adult baseball. All teams compete under MLB rules using wood bats, creating a competitive yet community-driven atmosphere that thrives under the Midnight Sun.

TEAMS
-
A young, high-energy crew stacked with high school and Legion talent, the Blizzard develop players for the next level — many chasing college scholarships. Don’t mistake their youth for inexperience: they’re proven winners, with a 2023 City Series title and the 2024 Alaska State Tournament under their belt. Fast, sharp, and hungry every time they take the field.
-
Established in 2025, the Cienfuegos bring talent and energy, never shy about chirping from the dugout. Still settling into the league, they’re shaping up to be a real threat when playoffs roll around.
-
A tight-knit squad hailing from Eielson Air Force Base aiming for back-to-back City Series crowns, the Icemen bring swagger and toughness every game. They’re fearless competitors who expect to win.
-
A ragtag bunch formed after an overflow at tryouts, the Misfits rallied fast and won’t back down in their rookie season. They’ve got grit and are ready to make some noise.
-
The league’s longest-standing franchise, the Pirates are a battle-tested crew who know how to swing the bats. Count on them for steady play and big hits when it matters.
-
An established powerhouse led by a Hall of Fame manager, Spruce finished second in the 2024 City Series and have one goal in mind — reclaiming the trophy and adding to their legacy.
“A FUN PLACE TO SEE MIDDLE AGED MEN YELL AT EACH OTHER”
