Legion is a great program. It is much stronger in some areas of the country than others. However, there is a good reason they raised the age limit.
Guys like Mike Cameron, Craig Biggio, Roger Clemens, Flash Gordon, etc. all played Legion... Their sons all played on club/travel teams.
The reason scouts and college recruiters flock to the big travel tournaments is because that is where nearly all the best players are at. Most of the best Legion players also end up playing for a team in those events. The two top prospects from Minnesota for example. This is true in other states where Legion is still strong. The best players in NJ, the best players in Virginia, same thing. Only the Dakotas, Wyoming, Montana, and maybe Idaho might be exceptions.
The best prospects create exposure opportunities for everyone playing with and against them. It's that simple!
