Coach May,

It died in the Northeast about 20 years ago. A shame.

We were fortunate in some ways. K played Legion ball 2 summers ago.

Not only did he enjoy it - but my wife and I and many of our neighbors enjoyed it as well. Legion the way I remembered it. A barbeque grill - and alot of really nice people from the Legion that made every game just fun to be at. And some excellent local players as well.

I think the other reason it was so enjoyable was that we didnt have to deal with people badmouthing other alternatives - like PG or Impact.

We just went to the games - and enjoyed them with people who wanted to carry on a true local experience - and who volunteered their time to provide a fun and healthy environment for baseball players.

I really enjoyed the experience - and feel bad about what I have seen happening to Legion Ball elsewhere over the past 20 years or so.
