American Legion Baseball will celebrate its centennial in 2025. 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.”
