History
The relationship between The American Legion and Major League Baseball goes back to the 1920s. After the birth of Legion Baseball in 1926, funding for a second season looked bleak and no season was held. Major League Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis stepped in and pledged an annual donation of $50,000, and the program resumed in 1928. Winners of the American Legion World Series attended the MLB World Series. To this day, the winners still attend the World Series, and MLB provides an annual donation to help fund the National American Legion Baseball Tournament of 64 teams from across the country.
Let’s show our support for America’s pastime by attending this game. No other youth baseball program has so many of its members in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Read about them here.
