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.

Players must be willing to participate in a youth baseball program as coaches/counselors and/or fundraising activities.  Please send an This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it   ASAP.  Click Read more to see the practice and game schedule.

About the team and organization:

Langsdorf League Website

Finances: Wisquote.com Insurance Services, LLC and other sponsors will support the team.  We plan to have the team mentioned in the press as we will be active in the community via a youth baseball program.  We hope to make this team that has the sort of talent level that can send a player from time to time to the independent professional league.
 
Home Field: Wisconsin Lutheran College
 
Players: A core of MBL players and players from local colleges.  We plan to carry 20 or 21 playersith at least six pitchers and three catchers.  Cost is $120 per player, however, players from the colleges whose fields we are using may do field prep instead of pay the fee.  In general, this will be a team of 20 something-year-olds who are very serious about playing at a high level. 

Playing Time: All players will get a minimum of 1/3 of the available innings of games they attend (in aggregate, not necessarily per game).  Pitchers will be on a strict 90 pitch count.  Players missing games without notification and/or more than two weeks worth of games will likely be replaced on the roster.

Manager: Steve Rappl.  He's managed the reigning MBL champs the past two years and this year was our manager of the year.  We are looking for an assitant manager/player, and a team captain to be selected by the team.
 
GM: Kirk Spano will be handling roster make-up with input from Steve and the assistant coach.  

I'm confident that given the strong sponsorship, relationship with MBL and two colleges, that keeping this team active and competitive will not be a problem.  We are going to make a commitment to doing a charity youth baseball program (camp potentially) with a city organization and a fund raiser as well.  

If you are a top MBL baseball player or local college player, and interested in this team, contact us ASAP regarding playing on this team.
