“For decades, American Legion baseball was the dominant summer program for high school age players.
San Diego teams produced Hall of Famers Ted Williams and Alan Trammell along with World Series hero Don Larson.
Tony Gwynn, Trevor Hoffman, Randy Jones, Dave Winfield, Kris Bryant, Wil Myers and Padres manager Bob Melvin all played American Legion baseball.
However, with the advent of travel ball, American Legion baseball nearly went extinct, until Peter-Rolf Ohnstad and a dedicated band of San Diegans revived the “No-pay-to-play” program in 2018.”
