Birthplace of American Legion Baseball

American Legion Code of Sportsmanship

I will:  Keep the rules;  
Keep faith with my teammates;  
Keep my temper;
Keep myself fit;  
Keep a stout heart in defeat;  
Keep my pride under in victory;
Keep a sound soul; A clean mind;  And a healthy body

 

Fundraising Efforts for the Birthplace of American Legion Baseball

The American Legion Baseball League was first proposed at an American Legion State Convention in Milbank, South Dakota, in 1925. More than 90 years later, American Legion Baseball continues to be one of the most successful and tradition-rich amateur athletic leagues.
An on-going project in Milbank, will not only build a new baseball complex, but it will also build upon the legacy of Milbank and Legion Baseball and create a memorial that pays respect to the thousands of young men that have participated in the program since 1925.
Please click on the link below and watch a short video, detailing the ambitious plans of the new complex and then visit the website at the conclusion to provide your support of not only one of American's greatest past times, but also to invest in the future of America's youth.
