The Milwaukee Baseball League has added a Veteran’s Division for 2010.  Currently there are five teams in the division.  In 2011 we expect to add 3 to 7 teams to the division including one internally from one of the other MBL divisions.

The league is composed primarily of MBL veteran players who are seeking to extend their baseball career well into their 30s.  The league is designed to be competitive while providing a gentlemanly recreational outlet.  The division will play Sundays, with some Thursdays and Fridays (more for teams that would like to have their Saturday/Sunday off a couple times per year for other endeavors).

Managers of teams or groups who would like to be considered being added to the league please contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it   ASAP. 

Regarding the Veterans Division, these are the general rules (see rules for complete info):

1. 25 year old age limit division.  Players must be 25 by June 30 of the current season.
2. 20 game schedule, Sundays, Thursdays and Fridays.
3. 9 inning games.  Doubleheaders are seven inning games.  
4. Courtesy runners for pitchers and catchers only, and only with two outs.  Runner is last out made. 
5. DH only for pitcher (AL rules apply).
6. Ten man line-up allowed with an extra hitter.  If a ten man line-up is elected for a game, it must be used the entire game.  If team goes down to nine players after electing a ten man line-up, the spot vacated is an out each time it comes up.  If a nine man line-up is elected, the team must maintain a nine man line-up throughout the game.
7. Regular season May - August, with a pre-determined make-up weekend in August. 
8. Playoffs in September.

The main benefits of MBL Veterans Divisionwill be scheduling flexibility and knowable structure including a pre-planned make-up weekend which we've always had in MBL, a slightly higher overall talent level than similar leagues, having scorekeepers and scoreboards, no national organization to pay fees to and responsive respectful management including the Vets division having their own elected President and Vice President to handle week to week issues.
