2008 Legion Baseball season
I know not a lot of people follow Legion Ball over the summer but I thought I would start a thread so you can tell us who looks good this season.

I know Grand Rapids really struggled in Omaha with a shortened lineup.
They went 0-4.
They do square off with Duluth Central tonight.

The Rosetown Legion Hall sits right on top of the ball field with a nice patio with a great view of the game and they are open for business during games.
Great set up.
I always thought the high school team should play there instead of that Metrodome-esque setup they have at the school... Puting up and tearing down the chainlink fence every year. We always had a better time playing at Rosetown (probably because we's actually win). Do they use legion field for anything other than legion ball?

Beer is sold @ Midway during Legion games. Legion games are not school oriented so they are permitted to do so. And I do like how Rosetown has a patio on top of a hill so you can watch the game and have a beer there but the field is always in terrible shape. I don't know who takes care of the field but it is always bad when I've been there.

The 4th district which is a wood bat district during the regular season will be switching to aluminum when the playoffs begin. This way the champion does not have a huge disadvantage going into the State Tournament. Another change is there are now 8 teams instead of 7 with 2 Hamline teams, Red & Purple with Purple being Cretin kids so it is all double elimination instead of the first round being you lose you're out. Tri-City Red is the defending champion with North St. Paul & possibly Arcade-Phalen being another contender. NSP has 6 players from Hill Murray on the team & Arcade has a couple kids from North that didn't make NSP. It should be an interesting season.
