PROPOSED AMERICAN LEGION BASEBALL HALL OF FAME
South Dakota American Legion Baseball Hall of Fame, Inc.
Thank you for visiting this site and for your support.
"In this city on July 17, 1925, by action of the South Dakota Department of The American Legion, the nationwide organization of Legion Junior Baseball was first proposed as a program of service to the youth of America". These words are inscribed on a granite monument located adjacent to Legion Field in the community of Milbank, South Dakota, as a reminder of the beginning of this fine Americanism program.
American Legion Baseballs years of existence can be best explained by a portion of this inscription: "A program of service to the youth of America." Since its beginning, over ten million young men have participated in American Legion Baseball.
The American Legion Code of Sportsmanship is recited by American Legion Baseball Players and Coaches. The Code states: hôtels Lugano"I will keep the rules, keep faith with my teammates, keep my temper, keep myself fit, keep a stout heart in defeat, keep my pride under in victory, and keep a sound soul, a clean mind, and a healthy body". This code in addition to the lessons learned by participating in American Legion Baseball has developed generations of leaders that have helped mold the United States of America.
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of South Dakota American Legion Baseball Hall of Fame, Inc. is to establish and construct a Proposed American Legion Baseball Hall of Fame. This facility will recognize the players, coaches, and other individuals that have helped develop and promote this fine Americanism program.
Architectural plans have been developed for the proposed multi-million dollar facility to be located in Milbank, South Dakota, The Birthplace of American Legion Baseball. The current plan allocates space to each State to recognize individuals that have developed American Legion Baseball into one of Americas great youth programs.
ONGOING EFFORTS
