Athens reached the final in the competition, but lost to city rivals Marousi in 2004 with 9-19. In the same year, the club met Marousi again in the final series of the Greek championship and was able to achieve the first title win in the club's history with 3-0 wins.

Panathinaikos played its first international game on June 15, 2015. In qualifying for the European Cup, the club was defeated by the Zurich Barracudas 7-8 in front of their home crowd . Two days later on June 17, 2015, the club achieved its first victory on an international level. Opponent was Atletico Alexandria from Romania who could clearly be beaten with 12-2.

After the Greek baseball federation ceased operations in the fall of 2015 and thus also the hosting of a national championship, Panathinaikos dissolved its baseball department in September 2015.
