The Beijing Tigers (Chinese: 北京猛虎; pinyin: Běijīng měnghǔ) is one of the four charter teams in the China Baseball League.[1] The Tigers played at the 5,000-capacity Beijing Fengtai Baseball Field until 2006, when the stadium was destroyed and rebuilt as the Fengtai Softball Field. Their stadium for the 2006 season was relocated to Lucheng, a rural area to the south of Beijing.
The Tigers enjoy the distinction of being one of the oldest baseball teams in China, with its history spanning well before the Cultural Revolution.
