  • Entering Our 25Th Year
    Magazine of the Men’s Senior and Men’s Adult Baseball Leagues 25th Anniversary Issue Entering Our 25th Year To: All MSBL/MABL League Members I have some very exciting news to share with you about the evolution of the Men’s Senior Base- ball League (MSBL) and the Men’s Adult Baseball League (MABL) in this, our 25th anniversary. To start our 25th year and build a foundation for the future of MSBL/MABL, we have decided to transition from hard print, HardBall Magazine to a new online Web Portal. HardBall Magazine, the offi cial magazine of the Men’s Senior Baseball League and the Men’s Adult Baseball League, has chronicled the amazing growth of the MSBL from its roots, with four teams on Long Island 27 years ago (1986), to over 3,400 teams nationwide today. Through stories on its players, growth of its leagues, calendars of events, tournament coverage, wonderful personal league stories and the many generous occasions where they support each other, HardBall helped create a strong sense of community from across the country. We need to overwhelmingly thank Jackie Piro and Jeff McGaw for their continued excellent work and contributions that will always be remembered. Many decisions in life are very diffi cult. With the onset of our 25th year anniversary (1988-2012), and with the changing time in technology, we are now making a very signifi cant investment in our new website. This decision was reached with input and consultation from over 40 league Presi- dents who unanimously felt the timing was right and will benefi t all members.
