Unofficial, Uneditted and replete with errors of commission and omission

ATTENTION 2023 HS grads - note that there a number of scholarships available at both the Department (state) and National levels of American Legion Baseball, In addition some (how many?) Posts have their own scholarship awards. In Michigan both the 2022 Department went “unclaimed” due to lack of applicants. Don't pass up the chance to help cover your college costs!
