Baseball Australia would like to congratulate Craig Shipley on his selection to the NSW Hall of Champions at Sydney Olympic Park.

Shipley made his debut in the MLB for the LA Dodgers in June of 1986, and spent 11 seasons playing on the biggest stage in baseball. After debuting for the Dodgers, Shipley's decorated career saw him spend time at the New York Mets, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and San Diego Padres. In 1996, Shipley's Padres won the National League West Division Crown.
Born in Parramatta, NSW, Shipley currently is involved with the front office with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
