American Legion Baseball notes posted at - http://albdistrict2mi.blogspot.com/

I have been informed that South Carolina is NOT Clemson.

The American Legion cancelled the 2020 season, and some (not all) of the states also cancelled their "formal" American Legion season. Many individual American Legion programs are playing an abbreviated "unofficial" 2020 seson.

News -

*Trenton/MI Legion Baseball seeks games – Trenton’s 2020 American Legion Post 426 Baseball team (high school developmental) is seeking games for June & July. Please contact head coach Steve Voss (734-341-7123) if you have interest. Trenton HS is in SE Michigan (2601 Charlton Rd, Trenton, MI 48183) and is a member of the MHSAA's Downriver League.

*

*Hudson/MI Legion Baseball seeks games for both the Senior and Junior teams Contact coach Wayne Perry if you are interested. Hudson is in Lenawee County and draws from several small high schools near the Ohio border.

2021 HS grads (and probably 2022, too) - be aware that the various "extended eligibility" and shortened MLB draft will likely impact college baseball rosters for some period of time.  Cut the college coaches "some slack" as they adjust to various changes; be aware that colleges / universities will be facing significant financial issues and that "Covid 19" is not something that is just going away.

The American Legion cancelled the 2020 season, and some (not all) of the states also cancelled their "formal" American Legion season. Many individual American Legion programs are playing an abbreviated "unofficial" 2020 seson.

D-day June 6

June 6 was the anniversary of "D-Day" - the invasion of northern France by the Allies in 1944.

The European portion of World War II war ended in early May of 1945 - just about 1 year after D-Day.

Prominent in the military defeat of Germany were the Soviet Union, the United States, the United Kingdom (Great Britain and Commonwealth). Canada (in the Commonwealth) and Poland.  France, The Netherlands, Belgium, Norway, Greece, Yugoslavia are some of the other nations that were "Allies".

The British Commonwealth included Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, Pakistan and numerous colonial possessions in Africa, the Caribbean, Asia and the Pacific.  The Republic of Ireland was neutral, although many Irish citizens joined the British forces.

The United States "colonial empire" included the Philippines, Guam and Puerto Rico.  The Philippines (1942) and Guam (1941) were captured by the Japanese early in the Pacific war  when the United States choose to concentrate on defeating Germany.

Nations that seem to have suffered the most from German and Japanese aggression include China, Soviet Union, Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia among others.  From June of 1940 until mid-1944 France was ruled by the "Vichy" government who choose to cooperate with Germany - including deportations of people based on race / religion.

Things are tough now - but the United States has been lucky compared to many nations in the world who have suffered wars, occupations, genocides and political upheaval.

Note that Japan and Germany are now our "friends".
