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.
