A Kinder, Gentler League

Embodying the original vision of Carl Stotz, founder of the largest organized youth sports program in the world, involvement in these programs teach many life lessons while developing a lifetime love of the game by promoting citizenship, inclusion, discipline, teamwork, and physical well-being. These are the same lessons that transcend all walks of life and professions throughout the world. The lessons from these children's stories are all based on true events. As with the stitches on the baseball that holds the cover together, the life lessons that are taught through this game stay with you for a lifetime. As you read these stories, you will recognize that these are not unique and take place every day by everyday community champions. It's just what they do.
