AMERICAN LEGION Baseball Code of Sportsmanship
I WILL:
Keep The Rules
Keep Faith with My Teammates
Keep My Temper
Keep Myself Fit
Keep A Stout Heart in Defeat
Keep My Pride Under in Victory
Keep A Sound Soul, A Clean Mind And A Healthy Body

Keep in your thoughts - We go back to Afghanistan for what - in theory - is a very straightforward mission. Hopefully it goes smoothly, but anytime a nation puts its troops in another nation there are lots of opportunities for confusion, mistakes, errors and misunderstandings. The "whys / why nots" of our actions are of interest to historians but we need to respect and honor those that go where they are sent to protect us. Pray that all can come home safely.

08/10/2021 - Jim's unofficial American Legion World Series Preview - 08/10/2021

I tried to find some of the media links for other teams (not everyone has a "Midland Daily News" following them!).  These are down at the bottom.  As always - if it is wrong "I DID IT" ... if it is correct "I copied it correctly".

Many thanks to the Department of Michigan (and all the other Departments) for sponsoring American Legion Baseball.  The Department staff are rarely recognized but should be - THANK YOU! 

Also to the individual American Legion Posts and other sponsors that take the effort to support American Legion Baseball - THANK YOU!

Stolen from the 2019 American Legion World Series Program / Media book - a brief recap of Midland Berryhill Post 165 2009 Championship season -

2009 -- Midland MI Post 165
FARGO, ND – On a sun-splashed afternoon that felt more like an autumn college football Saturday, Midland, Michigan Post 165 won the 2009 American Legion World Series championship.
It was a perfect ending to an otherwise imperfect tournament due to inclement weather. In fact, seven of the tourney’s 14 games were seven inning affairs instead of the normal nine-inning games due to the weather. In the end it was Midland, Michigan claiming the national championship beating Medford, Oregon Post 15, 11-4 in front of 1,867 at Newman Outdoor Stadium on the campus of North Dakota State University.
Defending champion Las Vegas returned to defend its title and was the pre-tourney choice to repeat but just prior to the start of the Series, Jeff Malm, the MVP in ’08 signed a Big League contract. Midland, the only other returning team from 2008 field was then installed a slight favorite to claim the crown. Midland did not disappoint its fans by going 5-0 at the ALWS.
The mainstay was tourney MVP Jordan Dean. Dean, shortstop, anchored a defense that turned 12 double plays.
Perhaps one of the wildest games in American Legion history saw Midland eliminate Rowan County NC, 15-14.
Midland was cruising with a 12-0 margin going into the sixth inning when North Carolina exploded for eight runs. Midland countered with three runs in the seventh before North Carolina scored five in the seventh. In the bottom of the ninth, North Carolina scored again to cut the margin to one and the game ended that way.
The championship game was exciting as Midland jumped off to an 8-0 lead and coasted to the win. Midland ended its most successful season at 54-7 record.
