Baltimore captures AAABA crown

If you've never been to the All-American Amateur Baseball Association national tournament in Johnstown, you're missing out.

This season, the Baltimore franchise won its second title in a row and 28th overall by beating Livonia and New Orleans on Saturday to finish the double-elimination tournament with a 6-0 record.

Now for the reason we're talking AAABA baseball today: we would love to see the Harrisburg area at the very least apply for a franchise.

A team comprised of former and current Mid-Penn Conference players would no doubt compete for a national championship and we would like nothing more than to see that happen.

An ideal setup would have the Harrisburg franchise competing in either the East Shore Twilight League or the West Shore Twilight League in the regular season before partaking in the AAABA postseason.

Hopefully one day, we'll see this happen.
