The Silver Spring–Takoma Thunderbolts is a collegiate summer baseball team based in Silver Spring, Maryland. Most of its players are drawn from the college ranks. The team is a member of the Cal Ripken Collegiate Baseball League (CRCBL). The Thunderbolts play their home games at Montgomery Blair Baseball Stadium. The Thunderbolts are funded through ticket sales, sponsorship, merchandise sales, donations, and other fundraising efforts at games.[1]

History

In January 2000, Richard S. O’Connor purchased the charter rights to a collegiate summer baseball team in the Clark Griffith Collegiate Baseball League. The prior team was named the Southern Maryland Battlecats and played their home games in Charles County, Maryland.

Maryland Community Baseball, Inc., the parent corporation of the Thunderbolts was formed as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization to promote youth baseball in the Silver Spring-Takoma area.[2][3]

The team began play in June 2000 at three locations in Silver Spring. From 2000 to 2004, the Thunderbolts were members of the Clark Griffith Collegiate League. In 2005, the Thunderbolts became a charter member of the Cal Ripken Collegiate Baseball League. The Thunderbolts were the league's co-champions in 2005 and champions in 2006. They have also won the Montgomery Cup twice since 2005.

In 2002, Maryland Community Baseball Inc. signed a 20-year license agreement with the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission to play all home games at Blair Stadium.[4]
