American Legion baseball is a staple in Tucson summer baseball. For over 80 years American Legion baseball has been played in Tucson. Generations of families have participated in the longest continuous summer program in Tucson.

Legion baseball represents all the veterans and current military men and women who have served our country. They made the commitment to our country, the players that player Legion Baseball are required to give back with that commitment.

The league is highly competitive. Scores and standings maintained to qualify teams to play in the National Legion

The league requires that every game maintains scores for all games.

The league offers a post-season tournament for those teams that wish to continue to play for a championship.

The adage “It’s only summer ball” is one that does not fit into the league vernacular. Coaches, players, parents that utilize this adage are those that use it as an excuse if a player or game does not have a positive result. Those programs that take the summer seriously will be the ones that see success down the road.

American Legion Baseball enjoys a reputation as one of the most successful and tradition-rich amateur athletic leagues. Today, the program registers teams in all 50 states plus Canada. read more
