Users should note the date of new material and information on the cover. Additional information that was previously omitted, in error, or incomplete has been resolved and is included. Media, coaches and fans can help us by sending corrections/information to Chris Cuellar at the IHSAA; PO Box 10, Boone, IA 50036-0010 or by e-mailing [email protected]. Iowa’s high school baseball legacy is proud and extensive. It includes the Spring State Tournament from 1928 through 1972; the State Fall Championships from 1939 to 1985, and the Summer State Championships since 1946. The 2018 Summer Championships will be the 74th consecutive year for Summer Baseball and the 92nd year for the sport overall. The longevity, the number of participants, and the level of play, coaching and umpiring constitutes a remarkable testimonial to all those who have made high school baseball “prime time.” From 1946 through 2018 we have crowned 195 Summer State Champions. A total of 129 different coaches have directed teams to State Titles. Just as impressively, 556 coaches have directed teams to the Summer State Tournament with 305 schools having appeared in the summer tourney at least once. Sixty-three of those schools are no longer open or have merged with other schools but their baseball connection has been preserved. Relatively speaking nearly 86% of the 346 schools playing baseball this summer have a “state tournament connection.” An All-Time Best List can be found on our baseball page of our website -- www.iahsaa.org then click on “Baseball” and scroll down. The website list is updated as new information is received and at the end of the season. For that reason, we no longer include the game, season and career lists as part of this book. We are indebted to those who have validated each of the performances listed. We consider the lists to be a work in progress. Most of the entries are from 1960 to the present. As information from is received and documented it will be added. The compiling and maintaining of the lists is a daunting task especially since they were constructed from scratch starting in 2002. All-time best performances have not always been vogue or in demand. However, it has been the philosophy of the IHSAA for over 100 years that student-athletes and their programs are important. We view the work accomplished by those students, coaches, schools and communities as a vital component of the rich heritage of high school athletics in Iowa. As you read the information presented, please feel free to contact us, if you feel there is an error. We are especially concerned about correct spellings and we will remain diligent in “getting it right.” - 3 - SUMMER STATE CHAMPIONS, 1946-2019 The IHSAA was the first State Association in the nation to hold a state baseball championship meet in the summer.
