Chicago Central MSBL was established in 1989 by a handful of guys who found out that a National organization was being formed out of New York. It started out as an over 30 league with 7 teams.

This is the start of our 20th season. We now have 37 teams in the league and aprox. 700 players.

The reason why we all play in the league is of course obvious, to play competitive baseball on a quality field. The will to win as a team, goes along with this desire naturally. The battle that ensues on the field, and the rivalries that come along from playing a team which is both hated and admired, have formed since the inception of the league. The underlying concept that we have attempted to establish has been that once the game is over and all the dirt is brushed off, you can look the other team in the eye, shake their hand, and congratulate them on their winning effort, while secretly plotting on ways to defeat them the next time. This all leads to a strong bond as a team that develops friendships and creates a better overall baseball experience for everyone involved.

The experience of playing in the Chicago Central MSBL doesn't have to stop there. Our league compiles many teams that represent us well in all the national tournaments held every year in Arizona, Florida, Puerto Rico and Ohio, to name just a few. Teams from our league with Chicago and DuPage County in front of their team name are respected nationally and almost every year, a team comes away with a National Championship from one of the tournaments. The great achievement here isn?t just that a team won, but that several teams usually combine talent, and personalities are set aside with that goal in mind, to represent our league and win a National Championship.

We now have 4 leagues that are all getting stronger and more competitive every year. Every year, the playoffs for the leagues have become more equally matched towards the crowning of the deserving champion.

I sincerely hope that the experience you make of this league and walk away with once you hang up your cleats, leaves you with many great friendships and memories. Everything has been established from the start of the league with this goal in mind.

I hope that all of you help to keep things in perspective with your team and individual players and have a great and safe season. Respect the fields, follow the rules, give the umpires a break once in awhile and go beat the hell out of the other team. When the game is over, leave it on the field.

Have a great season and good luck to you all.
