Virginia Baseball Congress

Welcome to the Virginia Baseball Congress (VBC)!

The VBC is Richmond's only 25 yrs and older mens wooden bat baseball league playing in Henrico and Chesterfield counties. The VBC was started in 1990 by Steven D. Piciacchio and Paul T. Buckwalter III to provide an organized baseball league for men in the Richmond area and to create a civic fundraising division (the VBC Foundation) to benefit local charities.
