American Legion Baseball will celebrate its centennial in 2025, and national headquarters has created a toolkit for department baseball chairmen and post leaders to use to spread the word as we celebrate 100 years of American Legion Baseball.

The toolkit is available online here. The toolkit includes the history of American Legion Baseball; sample press releases, media advisories, and social media posts; and testimonials from Legion Baseball alumni who went on to the major leagues.

The American Legion’s National Executive Committee (NEC) passed Resolution 3 at the 2023 Fall Meetings to recognize American Legion Baseball’s celebration of its 100th anniversary in 2025.

The initial resolution proposing an American Legion Baseball program was passed at the Department of South Dakota’s convention on July 17,1925. American Legion Baseball was organized “to teach practical lessons in sportsmanship and citizenship by emphasizing such qualities as loyalty, respect for the rules, fair play, courage and physical fitness.”
