Dear Missouri American Legion Baseball Family,

 

As the summer season unfurls, I am reminded of the vibrant energy that defines American Legion Baseball here in Missouri. Each game, pitch, and swing embodies more than sportsmanship—it reflects the enduring values of character, teamwork, and perseverance that make our program truly remarkable.

 

Celebrating Our Players

This June, we are proud to recognize the young men and women who have dedicated themselves not only to excelling on the field but also to growing as individuals. The lessons learned through Legion Baseball go far beyond the game. From honing leadership skills and fostering accountability to building resilience in the face of adversity, our players embody the spirit of excellence that serves them well in life and in their future careers.

Honoring Coaches and Volunteers

Behind every successful team is a network of dedicated coaches, parents, and volunteers who work tirelessly to support our athletes. Your efforts ensure that Missouri's American Legion Baseball continues to thrive as a beacon of community, discipline, and opportunity. From organizing practices to providing mentorship, your contributions are indispensable, and we thank you wholeheartedly.

These attributes—resilience, adaptability, and focus—are the hallmarks of a well-rounded individual.
