American Legion Baseball
American Legion Baseball, enjoys a reputation as one of the most successful and tradition-rich amateur athletic baseball leagues. Since its inception in 1925, the league has had millions of players, including countless who have gone on to play in college and professional baseball, with 81 inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Continuing the Legacy
Was once a prominent region for American Legion Baseball. In fact, San Diego teams were crowned National Champions in 1938, 1941, and 1954. For whatever reason, in the 1980's it disappeared.
Offers an abundance of youth athleticism but offers limited opportunities to showcase their baseball talent; so in 2017, a handful of Veterans within the American Legion organization spearheaded operations to re-ignite American Legion Baseball.
These passionate Veterans took the mindset, " build it, they will come" and we are honored to say that once again American Legion Baseball is serving the youth.
Our 2018 inaugural season provided a tremendous foundation to our future growth developing this highly competitive Legion Baseball League within our County.
The league is built upon the traditional values which it was founded in 1925. American Legion Baseball has taught hundreds of thousands of young Americans the importance of sportsmanship, good health and active citizenship. The program is also a promoter of equality, making teammates out of young athletes regardless of their income levels or social standings.
American Legion Baseball decided to make the league accessible to our County youth without concern of the financial burden placed on players or their families. There is "NO Pay to Play"!
