Club Beisbol Viladecans

Club Beisbol Viladecans is a División de Honor de Beisbol baseball club in Viladecans, a town located to the WSW of Barcelona. It was founded in 1945 and was one of the most active teams during the heyday of baseball in Spain in the 1950s and 1960s. Club Beisbol Viladecans was one of the few teams that survived the difficult times of the late 1960s and 1970s, when mass-interest in football (soccer) compromised the viability of other local baseball clubs.

The field of the Club Beisbol Viladecans was officially used during the 1992 Summer Olympics.
