In the wake of the 1919 White Sox scandal and the suspension for life of eight players, baseball saw a precipitous decline in popularity, especially among America's youth. To combat this, a group of World War I veterans who were members of the newly formed American Legion created an organization to promote teenage interest in baseball. Led by John L. Griffith, who became the first commissioner of the Big Ten Conference, the Legion undertook the revival of baseball. In the 1920s and through the Great Depression and World War II, Legion baseball grew steadily. By 1950 it had become the principal training ground for major league players, boasting at its peak more than 16,000 teams across the country. Tracing the long history of this uniquely American institution, this work details each year's American Legion World Series and the ups and downs of participation over nearly a century.

In 2008, the surviving members of the Crenshaw Post 715 American Legion team gathered in Sedona, Arizona, to honor the memory of Billy Consolo. Stories of their fallen teammate opened a door to cherished memories of time spent together in childhood, learning the game of life through the game of baseball. With no adults to supervise them in the playgrounds and sandlots, Carl Paul Maggio and his friends grew to understand the principles of fair play. As teenagers, they thrived under the eccentric guidance of Benny Lefebvre, a gentle but fiercely determined coach who transformed the untamed boys, including future Hall of Famer Sparky Anderson, into a band of skillful, resourceful ballplayers. And when they competed with more than sixteen thousand teams for the 1951 American Legion World Baseball Championship, they discovered the greatest prize of all: a lifetime of enduring friendships. Swinging for the Fences will transport you to a simpler place and time in our country's history, when kids were allowed to be kids, and baseball was a game of integrity and simplicity.

An Inning at a Time is about a small-town Indiana baseball team that won the American Legion Baseball National Championship in 1977. It chronicles the improbable path of one team's journey that changed ordinary into extraordinary. It's an account of a group of young athletes coming of age - who dared to be winners and for one glorious season to live a dream by substituting passion for lack of size and who had the heart to overcome their fear of failure and outplay teams with bigger, stronger and more exceptional athletes. Our story is a message to coaches, players and parents that any team that is willing to do the work and play for today can win this tournament. It doesn't take superstars; it takes consistency and coaches trusting each player to reach his full potential: the same today as it was then. This team remains the only National Champion from Indiana in the 83-year history of American Legion Baseball.
