Legends of Legion Baseball Inc

Did you know there are almost 4000 American Legion Baseball teams in the U.S. and about 10% of those teams are based in Minnesota?  

A Little History Lesson: At the 7th National American Legion Convention on October 8, 1925 – the American Legion had officially thrown its hat in the ring as stewards of sport in this country. Of the athletics being promoted in the passage, “base ball” was the most concerted focus.

No one in the assembly hall (which included President Calvin Coolidge) knew it, but the organization had just altered the origin story for some 80 members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and 600+ Major League Baseball alumni.
