American Legion Baseball: a brief history

DID YOU KNOW? Since 1925 The American Legion, a wartime veteran’s association has sponsored American Legion Baseball. American Legion Baseball is the oldest and largest nationwide teenage baseball program in America. More than ten million teenagers have played American Legion Baseball since 1925. The success of American Legion Baseball belongs to the legionnaires and volunteers who donate hundreds of hours each summer to ensure players have an opportunity to play the game of baseball.

More than 5,400 registered teams participated in communities across the country in 2004. Players learn the importance of leadership, teamwork and team loyalty while sharpening their skills on the baseball diamond. 86 percent of this year’s graduated high school seniors in the American Legion World Series will play college baseball next spring. Nearly 60 percent of professional baseball players played American Legion Baseball, including 46 Hall of Fame members.

The American Legion Baseball program is one of the many youth programs sponsored by The American Legion. Legionnaires recognize the importance of community service and youth programs for the young people of this country to develop their leadership talents.

Each year, nearly 95,000 players on 5,200 teams are given the opportunity to learn leadership, teamwork and the importance of sportsmanship. Over eleven million dollars is raised each year by Legionnaires to assist these American Legion Baseball teams.

The American Legion is very proud of its Baseball program. Hundreds of thousands of players have earned college scholarships. Several thousand have had the opportunity to play baseball professionally. A more important figure is that over 10 million baseball players have played and enjoyed the game for the past seven decades, thanks to our American Legion volunteers.
