Homeplate of the Milwaukee Baseball League

Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball… Barzun, Jacques

The Milwaukee Baseball League welcomes you. The MBL is a baseball league for adult players in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. We field a fun, exciting, competitive brand of gentlemanly baseball. Our teams are made up of a wide variety of former local high school stars, college players, transplanted players from around the country and those looking for an opportunity to play in a competitive local hardball league. The league lineage dates back to the Milwaukee County Open and Minor Leagues that have roots in the 1930s. Games are played at Milwaukee County Parks.

The MBL began independent play in 2003 with eight teams from the Milwaukee County Open and Minors after Milwaukee County ceased running their hardball leagues. In 2005 we affiliated with the Wisconsin Youth Sports Association in order to solidify the future of high level ameteur baseball in Greater Milwaukee long term. As of 2008 we field sixteen teams in four divisions.

Our website is dedicated to the promotion of the Milwaukee Baseball League, as well as, everything baseball and baseball related in the Milwaukee area.

Businesses, if you are interested in sponsoring a club, advertising your business on our website, linking your business website to baseballmilwaukee.com or otherwise supporting baseball in Greater Milwaukee, please see our Media Kit and then contact our management for details on how we can benefit each other.

Potential players, if you are interested in finding a team to play on, please fill out the New Players application and/or contact managers directly by email as listed on our schedule.

To all, please come see the Milwaukee Baseball League at a park near you! It's great, free family entertainment.
