Celebrating 30 Years
The Face of
the MSL
Graphics By Joe Klancnik
04/12/2023 People ask who or what
is the MSL? We are starting our 30th year as the top amateur
baseball league in the Chicago area. We attribute our success for 30 years to the names in the panel above.
They are the managers who make the MSL the success that it has been
for many years. It’s their hard work that puts the Face on the
League. They have to collect money, order uniforms, set up practice,
get players to the game, fill out a roster etc. Without those names
in that panel, some of which have been with the League 5, 10 and
even 15 years, the league would not exists. The League has also put
in some features to help with its success, 5 tier talent levels,
stadium games for every team, individual achievement awards, MVP, Cy
Young, and Silver Slugger, Championship
series for all Levels in a Stadium, and Finally World Series Rings.
But again over the years we average 50 teams, 1200 players, all put
together from those names above. The MSL thanks those managers who
work hard every year to put a team in the MSL and making this League
the best in all of the Midwest. Coming soon the first annual
manager’s burger and brew appreciation day to be held at a venue TBA.
Defending
Our Country
Kristopher Cabai, Sooyong Youn,

be retiring from the Navy, and returning to the Chicago area.

MSL is Family
Saturday, August 31st, 2019 at
Lake Park High School (Bob and Bill Allen's alma-mater):
A once-in a lifetime moment here! Nine Allens take the field
together in a memorable ballgame for the Swingers. Three generations
of Allens together. Uncle Elmer (78), the elder statesman and
Central Wisconsin Baseball hall of famer threw out the first pitch.
Joined by his 2 brothers Dennis (Bill and Bob's dad, 68, who got a
nice hit in the game!) and Danny (67), manager Bill (42) and older
brother Bob (44), Bill's sons Brandon (22) and Austin (19), and Bobs
kids Jordan (15) and Donovan (9). Bill's daughter Emma (8) ran out
the ball for Elmer's celebratory first pitch. Elmer and Dennis
played semi-pro ball for the Wausau Barons, Elmer passed up a shot
at pro ball to head to the Marines. Bill and Bob have been playing
in the MSL since 2001. What a truly memorable moment this was!
Thanks to the league and the Reds for allowing us to share this
awesome moment! Swingers end up winning the game 9-6 and go on an
improbable run to the finals after the old timers motivated the
team! Dennis, Bill, and Austin have been talking about making this
happen for years It took a lot of travel and planning to pull it
off, but was well worth the memory it created! Baseball truly is
America's "past-time"!
