EMBL FACTS:

 

* The League is OPEN to all guys who want to play baseball. All prospective players will get placed on a team. You don’t have to have been a star player in high school or college. You’re eligible if you love playing baseball!

 

* The league is not a “win at all cost” league. Guys want to win, but sportsmanship and the friendships developed are what the league’s all about.

 

* Most players have some previous baseball experience, such as Little League, rec ball, high school or college. A few have played professional ball.

 

* The games are 9 innings long, but no inning can start after 2:45 of playing time. Games start at 7:30 PM sharp week nights.

NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS: 

In 2011:

 

* The River Rats set an MSBL National record last year by going 82 consecutive games without a loss! The streak covered 3 years of games. Finally, they were beaten by the Diamondbacks in a playoff game.

 

* Tracy Reece, who played in both the 18+ and 35+ leagues, went 21-24 at the plate during one stretch.

 

* Vince McGrath, playing for the 18+ Diamondbacks, smacked FOUR  3-run home runs in 4 games during a mid summer streak.

 

* Shawn Starks started a new team, the Yankees, which lost its first game, 17-3. They turned it around and posted an 11-5 season record, and went on to win the 35+ championship over the Mavericks.
