American Legion Baseball

The goal for American Legion Baseball is to build the strength, coordination and over-all physical fitness of teen-aged players; to provide a method for proper channeling of the excessive energy contained in any young player; to develop young, healthy, busy American players while combating juvenile delinquency; and to aid in the development of good sportsmanship and citizenship, a "positive Americanism."

Every year, 54 American Legion players from across Wisconsin are chosen to play in the All-Star game held at Miller Park! In fact, Wisconsin is the only State to have an

All-Star game played in a Major League Stadium!
