08/01/2021 - Class AA 2021 American Legion Department of Michigan Baseball Championship (08/01/2021)

UNOFFICIAL (as always I try my best but there is no guarantee that my digits do what I want!)

It is interesting to see the extensive coverage of local American Legion teams in the Ohio championships as opposed to the lack of same (excluding Midland / Gladwin and the Upper Peninsula) in Michigan;  Thanks RRN Sports and the Midland Daily News! and all those papers "down south"!
