National Legion Organization Cancels Season

Less than 12 hours after the South Dakota State American Legion Executive Committee approved a 2020 Legion baseball season, the National Organization put the kibosh on. They announced they had canceled all 2020 regional tournaments and the American Legion World Series plus shut down all sponsorship and all involvement in baseball for the 2020 season.

The shutdown of all sponsorship and all involvement in baseball for 2020 means that those baseball teams that wish to continue playing this season shall be participating in a sporting event not sponsored, nor endorsed in any manner, by The American Legion National Organization.

There have been some light talks on social media of still having a “Legion “ season here in South Dakota, but just talks for now.
