BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP. ⚾️💙👮🏻♂️
In 2018, the vision for the Chicago Police Knights Baseball Club began.
The goal was never simply to put together another baseball team. We wanted to build an organization where police officers could compete, represent our department and city with pride, and most importantly, have a positive environment to step away from the stresses of the job and enjoy the game we grew up loving.
In 2019, we played our first official season, and since then, the CPD Knights have earned a trip to the playoffs every single year of our existence.
But our journey has been about much more than wins and losses.
Year after year, we slowly built a competitive group of officers who believed in what this organization represented. Along the way, we had to make difficult decisions, including moving on from individuals who didn’t fit the culture, commitment, or direction we were building toward.
Because protecting the environment we created has always mattered more than any roster spot.
We wanted the Knights to be a place where our brothers could decompress, laugh, compete, travel, support one another and simply enjoy baseball again. A place where rank and assignments could be left behind and everyone could just be teammates.
What started with baseball has turned into lifelong friendships, brotherhood, community service, championships, unforgettable experiences and memories that will stay with us long after our playing days are over.
We’ve grown. We’ve struggled. We’ve won. We’ve lost. We’ve made mistakes. We’ve gotten better.
But through it all, we’ve continued building.
From an idea in 2018, to our first season in 2019, to what the CPD Knights have become today, we’re proud of the foundation that was built and even more excited about where we’re going.
This was never just about baseball.
Bigger Than Baseball. 💙⚾️
