For God and Country, we advocate for veterans, educate our citizens, mentor youth, and promote patriotism, good citizenship, peace and security.
Sons of American Legion Mission Statement

The league still stands behind the traditional values upon which it was founded in 1925. American Legion Baseball has taught hundreds of thousands of young Americans the importance of sportsmanship, good health and active citizenship. The program is also a promoter of equality, making teammates out of young athletes regardless of their income levels or social standings. American Legion Baseball has been, and continues to be, a stepping stone to manhood for millions of young men who have gone on to serve their country or community, raise families or play the sport at the highest level. Legion Baseball alumni include: Yogi Berra, Johnny Bench, Tony Gwynn, Jim “Catfish” Hunter, Tommy John, Chipper Jones, and Ryne Sandberg to name just few.
