On behalf of Minnesota American Legion Baseball and our participating teams, welcome to the annual Sub‐State #8 Playoff Tournament!

To reach this point in the season, many hours of volunteer service have been contributed by a number of people ‐‐ particularly by team managers, coaches, and administrators. I hope that you will take a moment to thank them for their time and effort, before the conclusion of this tournament.

In addition, all of the local American Legion Posts that sponsor our participating teams are owed a great deal of gratitude. Without their support and involvement, this program would not be possible. In addition to sponsoring the Baseball Program, the American Legion has an exceptional history of helping to keep our communities strong, through a multitude of community and youth service programs. Therefore, I would encourage you to thank them by patronizing your local American Legion ‐‐ and by considering membership in the American Legion (if you are a veteran yourself) or in the American Legion Auxiliary or the Sons of the American Legion (if a family member is a veteran.) Contact your local American Legion Post for further information.

I would like to thank the fine businesses and organizations listed later in this souvenir program for their support of this tournament, the St. Paul Municipal Umpire Association, and the Tri‐City Maroon team for making its field available to all of us.

Lastly, the success of the American Legion Baseball program in our area would not be possible without the support of parents and fans. So, thank you! Please consider continuing your support of the Program, even after your family's participation has ended, so that we can keep it strong for future generations of ball players.

Enjoy the tournament ‐‐ and the best of luck to all participating teams !!!!

American Legion Baseball History & Facts

American Legion Baseball has been, and continues to be, a tradition‐rich stepping stone to adulthood for millions of American youth, who have gone on to serve their country or community, raise families and / or play the sport at the highest level …

American Legion Baseball is considered to be the largest, oldest and most successful organized youth baseball program in the United States. All 50 states participate, as well as Puerto Rico. Almost 72,000 players are rostered annually on over 4,000 teams. Since its formal inception in 1926, over 10 million players have participated ‐‐ and it is considered to be a primary vehicle for players to develop their skills and achieve visibility with college and pro scouts.

American Legion Baseball has enjoyed a exceptionally strong tradition in Minnesota. (Some teams actually trace their continuous participation all the way back to 1923.) Minnesota’s first State Tournament was held in Mankato in 1926, and it has been held every year since ‐‐ except for 2020, when the season was cancelled in its entirety due to the worldwide Covid‐19 pandemic; otherwise, Minnesota is one of only three states in the nation that has held a tournament every year since the program’s national inception in 1926. In 1959, Minnesota topped the nation, by having more registered American Legion teams than any other state. The State held this distinction for nine years. Pennsylvania then surpassed Minnesota, with Minnesota being second for many years.

In 2014, however, Minnesota again topped the nation, having 306 teams; Pennsylvania was second with 299 teams, Nebraska was third with 281, Wisconsin was fourth with 207, and Illinois was fifth with 163. Minnesota has led the nation since, with 376 teams registering in 2021. No other state has exceeded the 300‐team mark in the last five years. In 94 years of competition in Minnesota, the state has registered roughly 26,700 teams with 402,250 players. (In 2019, 366 teams participated, rostering approximately 5,850.

Division I Sub‐State Playoff Tournament Champions from across Minnesota, as well as a host team, then compete in the annual 16‐team Legion State Tournament (largest in the nation) to determine the State Champion. (A Division II State Tournament is also held annually, as well as Division I and II Jr. Legion State Tournaments.)

State Champs advance to one of eight Regional Tournaments held across the nation. A Host team, each State Champion, plus Runners‐up from several states, including Minnesota, make up the 64 teams that compete in the eight‐team double‐elimination Regional Tournaments. (Minnesota’s Division I Champion ‐‐ and its Division I Runner‐up ‐‐ both advance to the Central Plains Regional Tournament, because of the high number of registered teams in Minnesota.)

Regional Champions then compete in the World Series of American Legion Baseball, to determine the annual National Champion. Minnesota has produced five National Champions, as follows:

 Minneapolis Richfield Post 435 in 1943;  Edina Post 471 in 1983;  New Brighton Post 513’s Tri‐City Red in 1999,  Rochester Post 592’s Rochester A’s in 2003, and  Eden Prairie in 2011.

In 2002, Excelsior Post 259 was the National Runner‐up; in 2007 and 2010, Eden Prairie was the National Runner‐up.

Minnesota also sends a Division II team and a Junior Legion team to regional tournaments; there is no nationally‐sponsored Championship Tournament for Division II or Junior Legion at this time, however.
