Since 1925, The American Legion has sponsored a nationwide youth baseball program. During these past seven decades, millions of young players have enjoyed playing baseball. The American Legion and their 2.8 million members have raised millions of dollars each year for players to learn the importance of teamwork, discipline, leadership and good sportsmanship. The American Legion sponsors American Legion Baseball to give players an opportunity to develop their skills, personal fitness, leadership qualities and to have fun.

Post 59's American Legion Baseball team won the Arizona State Baseball Championship for 2011 by crushing Post 7 (Tucson High/Salpointe/Cienega combo) 16-4 in a mercy rule shortened game.

 

The team won its first game against Alhambra 22-1, beat Jim Click (Sunnyside) 6-5 by scoring three in the bottom of the ninth to win, then lost a heartbreaker 6-5 to Post 7 before going into the losers bracket and beating Post 36 (Sahuaro/CDO) 14-7, and then Post 7, 20-5, and 16-4.

 

The team continued its domination of American Legion Baseball in Arizona.

 

 

Once again, the team was successful in placing players in colleges around the country.

 

Our heartfelt thanks go out to the Veterans and Members of Post 59 for their generous support.
