The Seattle Cheney Studs are one of the oldest amateur baseball organizations in the country. The Studs were founded over 63 years ago in 1954 by Ben Cheney of Cheney Lumber Company in Tacoma, Washington, as the Cheney Studs. The “Studs” nickname is derived from Cheney’s company that copyrighted the 2 x 4 for building homes and structures. The team has been active for 63 consecutive years, most under the banner of the Seattle Studs, but also the Cheney Studs and Swannie’s Studs. The Studs have traditionally consisted of a combination of current and former college players, and former professionals. In the last few seasons, the team has begun to consist of a greater percentage of college players than former professionals.

The Studs have attended the National Baseball Congress World Series every year since 2002, finishing in the top ten, ten times, and finishing first runner up in 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2014. They won the NBC World Series for the first time in 2013 and second time in 2015. They won the Horizon Air Summer Series in 2008, 2009,2010 and 2012. The Studs also compete in the Grand Forks International every year, winning the tournament in 2001, 2010, 2015 and 2016.The Studs also play annually in the Kamloops, British Columbia International Baseball Invitational, winning the tournament 8 out of the last 10 years. The Kamloops tournament was not played in 2013.

In 2002, the Seattle Studs began using the University of Puget Sound in Kirkland, WA, as their home ballpark during the summers. In the summer of 2008, the Studs began to split their home games between the University of Puget Sound and Steve Cox Memorial Stadium in the White Center area of Seattle, Washington. In summer 2011, the University of Puget Sound’s baseball field was renovated, and the Studs played their home games at the Heidelberg Field Complex in Tacoma. In summer 2011, the team also played 12 games at Maguinez Field, named after Bob Maguinez, a former Cheney Studs player from the 1950s.
