Eagles Praha is a baseball team from Prague, Czech Republic. The team plays in the Czech Extraliga.
The club was established on 3 February 1981 in the Krč district of Prague as TJ Sokol Praha 4 – Krč. In 1984, the club built its current facilities in a piece of land in Krč. In 1991, the team changed its name to Sokol Krč. In 2000, the organization signed a sponsorship agreement with Altron, a Czech technological supplier, and changed its name to Krč Altron in 2001. For the 2009 season, the club dropped the sponsor title and changed its name to Eagles Praha.[1]
The Eagles have never won the Extraliga title, but were runners-up in 1999, 2004, 2012 and 2019.[2]
Four Eagles' players were called to represent Czech Republic at the 2023 World Baseball Classic qualification: pitcher Tomáš Duffek, catcher Martin Červenka, infielder Petr Zýma and outfielder Marek Chlup.[3] All four players also made it to the 2023 World Baseball Classic final roster, where Czech Republic played its pool in the Tokyo Dome in Japan.[4] [5]
Eagles Praha has the largest baseball and softball facilities in the Czech Republic.[6] The complex has two baseball fields, three softball fields, a multi-purpose indoor arena, a batting practice center and a gym.
The complex is located in the Krč district in the Prague 4 municipality, south of Prague's city center.
