Beginning in 2006, the Hudson Valley Baseball Classic is an annual contest that features the Hudson Valley's only Division I baseball programs, Army West Point and Marist, and brings together residents and fan bases from neighboring communities for an evening of quality entertainment at the home of the area's lone minor league baseball team affiliated with a major league franchise, the Hudson Valley Renegades. In conjunction with the game, a free baseball clinic for boys and girls from kindergarten through eighth grade has been conducted by the players and coaches from both Army and Marist on the Dutchess Stadium playing field prior to the game. Following the clinic, both teams have hold autograph sessions where fans can get their favorite players signatures.
The inaugural Hudson Valley Baseball Classic was played at Dutchess Stadium on April, 19, 2006, drawing an enthusiastic crowd of 2,619 – the largest to ever witness a college baseball game in the Hudson Valley at the time. That figure was surpassed the following year on May 2 when 3,016 streamed into Dutchess Stadium to watch the second Hudson Valley Baseball Classic. Despite temperatures hovering in the 30s shortly after first pitch on April 30, 2008, the event drew a crowd of 2,375. Attendance jumped to 2,754 for the 2009 edition of the rivalry with the 2010 crowd reaching 2,407. In 2011, the announced attendance was 2,422 fans while poor weather limited the crowd in 2012 to 1,602. The number jumped to 2,512 in 2013, with the 2014 Hudson Valley Baseball Classic bringing in 2,076 fans. Attendance at the 10th annual meeting climbed to 2,754 spectators, followed by the 11th annual meeting being witnessed by 2,354 spectators. Army recently took a 7-5 edge in the classic after defeating the Red Foxes 4-1 in April 26 to make it two-straight HVBC wins for the Black Knights.
