The Milwaukee Baseball League has received permission from Milwaukee County to hire a contractor to repair the Zirkel Field infield this April. We need to raise $3000 to get the project done. We have one month to do it and are only half way to our goal. Badger Poker will be running a No Limit Hold'em Poker Tournament to help us raise funds for our field project. The buy-in donation is $20. 50% of the money will stay in the prize pool, 50% will be donated to the field project. There will be prizes from Miller, as well as, Long Wongs bar tabs for people making the final table. There will also be Brewer Ticket Discount coupons raffled off just for playing. If the Milwaukee Baseball League gets at least 50 players, friends and family to play in the tournament, then both Badger Poker and Wisquote Insurance Services, LLC will match $500 to the Zirkel Field repair project. So, for coming out and having a good time, we can raise at least $1500 towards the field repair project which will get us to our goal. The tournament will be held Sunday, April 18 at 5pm sharp at Long Wongs on 53rd and Bluemound in Milwaukee. Be there, or don't dare complain about a bad hop this year. ====================================================================== "Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball." Jacques Barzun The Milwaukee Baseball League welcomes you. The MBL is a baseball league for adult players in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. We field a fun, exciting, competitive brand of gentlemanly baseball. Our teams are made up of a wide variety of former local high school stars, college players, players returning after college, transplanted players from around the country and those looking for an opportunity to play in a competitive local hardball league. The baseball league lineage dates back to the Milwaukee County Open and Minor Baseball Leagues that have roots in the 1930s.The MBL began independent play in 2003 with eight teams from the Milwaukee County Open and Minors after Milwaukee County ceased running their hardball leagues. In 2005 we affiliated with the Wisconsin Youth Sports Association in order to solidify the future of high level ameteur baseball in Greater Milwaukee long term. We currently field three divisions, the American and National which are generally composed of playes in their 20s and a Veterans Division made up of players who have moved on from the younger divisions. The league is currently considering various expansion opportunities and fielding a wood bat conference in 2010. Games are primarily played at Milwaukee County Parks. This website is dedicated to the promotion of the Milwaukee Baseball League, as well as, everything baseball and baseball related in the Milwaukee area.

Update:
PJ's Pub Tigers ranked 3rd in state and Southshore All-Stars ranked 5th, in final Wisconsin Amateur Baseball Rankings.
The 2009 Milwaukee Baseball League Championship match up featured 3 time MBL champion South Shore All-Stars sponsored by All-Star Sportswear hosting defending champion PJ's Tigers. South Shore All-Stars were looking to regain their title as champion against the team who currently held that title. Southshore sent their undefeated ace Tony Landgraf to the mound who was 7-0 during the regular season with a 1.96 ERA. PJ's, countered with 2008 Playoff MVP, Andy Monigal who went 3-0 on the regular season. With the stage set, all that was left was for the game to be played. The first two innings went by without a run being scored, but in the top of the third, Andy Monigal led off with a sinking line drive to right-center field, that trickled all the way to the fence for a triple. Monigal would score on a sac-fly by the next batter Eric Cluppert.
The MBL will have a Langsdorf League entry for the 2010 season.
This team is comprised of MBL All-Stars who are interested in playing more games at a very high level while at the peak of their careers. We will also have players from Wisconsin Lutheran College and a few other local colleges. The ultimate goal of this team is provide one of the highest levels of ameteur play in the state within a few years.
Langsdorf is a wood bat league with better players from various leagues in the area. Teams are from Milwaukee, West Allis, Racine, Burlington, Kenosha and Genoa City.
