CENTRAL WISCONSIN – The American Legion Department of Wisconsin has cancelled American Legion Baseball scheduling for the 2020 season.
“The recommendation was made by the Wisconsin American Legion Baseball Association (WALBA) Board of Directors on a video conference May 6,” the organization said in a Facebook post. “The Department Executive Committee then made the final decision on May 9. It marks the first time since 1927 the Department of Wisconsin will not crown an American Legion Baseball champion.
“We fully expect to have our program return in 2021 and be played at a high level.”
Over 200 teams participated across the state during the 2019 program, with multiple located in central Wisconsin.
