Honkbal Club Kinheim
Honkbal Club Kinheim is a Dutch baseball club based in Haarlem and play at Pim Mulier Stadium. Kinheim played in the Hoofdklasse from 1935 to 2016. They won only two titles in their first 70 years; 1978 and 1994. They were champions again in 2006, 2007 and 2012. Kinheim won the European Cup two years in a row in 2007 and 2008.
Past names have included Boom Planeta Kinheim Haarlem, Home Pizza Kinheim, Wera Kinheim Haarlem and Corendon Kinheim.
Despite good success in the prior decade, they stunningly departed the top Dutch league after the 2016 Hoofdklasse season when all their players left for other teams or retired at year's end. They currently play in the Overgangsklasse, the second tier of Dutch baseball. .
