History
American Legion baseball has made its return to Sharon, Massachusetts after a long hiatus.
In 2023, despite strong interest, no organized summer baseball options were available in town for players aged 14 and older. To address this gap, local families came together to form an independent team, which competed in a Babe Ruth league that summer.
This effort laid the groundwork for the ultimate goal: reviving American Legion baseball in Sharon. By the summer of 2024, a Junior team took the field for the first time. Then, in January 2025, approval was granted to add a Senior team, which first competed in the summer of 2025.
