Frankly Legion Juniors Set for Season Opener
The American Legion and Ford Motor Company sponsor the Junior baseball program entering its 21st season with over 3000 teams nationwide.

Major leaguers like Williams and Feller once starred in Legion Juniors, which trains boys in sportsmanship and citizenship while guiding early careers. Frank McCormick conceived Legion Junior baseball over 20 years ago, launching in South Dakota in 1925 and expanding nationwide.
