Welcome

Founded in the heart of Menands, NY, the Junior Baseball League has woven itself into the fabric of the town's sporting legacy since its inception in the early 1960s. Nestled along the picturesque Hudson River, Menands has long been synonymous with community-driven endeavors, and its baseball tradition stands as a testament to this spirit.
