League History 

MSBL Kenosha was formed in the spring of 2006 as a non-profit affiliate of the Men’s Senior Baseball League (MSBL)/Men’s Adult Baseball League (MABL), a national organization with more than 3,200 teams and 45,000 members who play organized amateur baseball in local leagues. 

MSBL Kenosha players are amateur athletes of various skill levels and business professions who enjoy playing competitive baseball. The players exhibit a special dedication to the sport, as well as a commitment to contribute to the Kenosha community.

MSBL Kenosha's inaugural season featured four teams with more than 60 players ranging in age from 18 to 51. The teams played games each Sunday between late May and August at Carthage College and ended the season with a weekend set of playoffs in early September, during which Sports Physical Therapy and Rehab Center took the championship game over Limbach Chiropractic/Southport Bank. That same weekend, fans and businesses collected 645.5 pounds of food and $106 for the Shalom Center.

In 2007, MSBL Kenosha expanded to six teams and a 16-game schedule. Then, in 2008, MSBL Kenosha expanded again with an MABL Kenosha division for players between the ages of 18 and 24 years old.

During the 2008 Fourth of July weekend, MSBL Kenosha hosted the Women's Hall of Fame Classic and a special rededication ceremony at historic Simmons Field. The once-in-a-lifetime event featured World Cup-caliber women's baseball teams from across the country playing in an exciting three-day tournament. Additionally, about 20 alumni from the infamous All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, which played at Simmons Field between 1948 and 1951, were honored. The event attracted more than 1,600 people to the stadium and brought an estimated $67,000 to the community.

In 2009, MSBL Kenosha continued its community outreach by hosting the inaugural Aquafina Pinch, Hit & Run competition. Nearly 30 boys and girls, ages 7-14, attended the local competition, testing their skills in hitting, pitching and running drills. The winners in each age group and individual event advanced to a sectional competition in Greenfield, Wis.

Today, MSBL Kenosha consists of 10 teams comprised of players ranging in age from 18 into their 60s, as well as all levels of talent and skills.

The league is always accepting players of all levels and new teams. If you are interested in joining MSBL Kenosha or MABL Kenosha contact MSBL League President Ched Ballard at cballard@msblkenosha.com.
