Welcome to this award winning
amateur baseball website.
www.hometalent.org/history/2004/awards.htm
Mission Statement:
This website is promote amateur mens adult baseball throughout the state of Wisconsin. Most of these players have played Little League, Babe Ruth, High School, Legion, and in many case's College Baseball. The problem was that most these leagues, teams and players were put on the back burner in many of their communities. This website was founded five years ago (2003) to promote Wisconsin Amateur Baseball at it's highest level possible.
"The pro's play for the money, and player's in the minors play for possible fame, but Wisconsin Amateur Baseball player's play for the "love" of the game."
In these past five years a total of 12 new teams have formed around the state. This season (2008) we have at least 5 more new teams joining leagues.
Genoa City Red Dogs, St. Croix Falls River Bandits,
Rosholt Renegades, Hager City Skeeters, Germantown Giants,
Currently this website features 20 league's, with a total 38 division's. Many leagues will have 4 divisions. In the 2007 season a total of 250 teams competed in these leagues.
These teams are all eligible to make the "Sweet Sixteen" a weekly rating of the best 16 best teams throughout the state. It may not be the most accurate poll at this time, but with seeing 303 games in the last 5 years I've got a little idea of the quality of the teams and leagues.
