Regensburg Legionaere is a baseball and softball club from Regensburg, Bavaria. The team is also known as Buchbinder Legionaere, following a sponsorship deal with German car rental company Buchbinder Autovermietung ("Bookbinder Car Rental").

Founded in 1987, the first men's team plays in the first division of the Baseball Bundesliga and is the defending champion. In the 2010 season, Legionaere led the Southern Division in most offensive and defensive categories, posting a combined .367 batting average and hitting 21 home runs as a team, while the club's pitching staff posted a 2.21 ERA.[1]

Club structure

The full club consists of 11 teams:

  • 1st Men's Baseball, plays in Bundesliga's 1st Division

As part of a fund raising effort, Legionaere began selling stock in the club at the price of 100 a share, equating to €1 of the team value. The shares are not marketed as high-return investments but contributions that give the supporter a presence in the organization.[2]
