@shakopeelegion As a coach of a nation champion Legion team back in the day the reasons (or excuses) offered are seriously weak. If players and parents were that unhappy it should have undermined your 2025 team and no state championship would have resulted. The reasons are weak & whiny

Who killed Legion All Stars? Why?
The All Star Guys break silence and blast Legion leaders. Its timer to tell it all. With documents. They gave 4 changing stories. We don't buy even one.
Details galore and more. https://t.co/OkGCpBCvUL
The MN Board may have committed itself to burn up $20 grand or more. It should have been $0. That looks to be about 35% of team registation fees. For what? We call it the MN Legion Hotel Room Religion. And the decision process was...interesting

The Legion Board slammed the door on the Junior D1 Coaches - the entiure D1 Junior Division. . Nice try at democracy guys. The 14 Baseball Czars of MN Legion Baseball don't listen to coaches. Articles 1 & 2. https://t.co/OkGCpBCvUL

With controversy popping up in Minnesota Legion Baseball. Start here and pick a side: What differentiates Closed and Open systems?
https://t.co/OkGCpBCvUL
Minnesota D1 Junior Coaches voted to override the State Board and Officers. But coaches are not allowed a vote under Minnesota's peculiar system. Over 17,000 are involved in the baseball program. Just 14 insiders get the power of voting. More https://t.co/OkGCpBD3Kj
Did D1 Junior Legion coaches really take a step toward democracy in Minnesota Legion Baseball? They voted to overturn a cherished policy of the "Board". Is this the beginning of overdue discussion and reform? Or just a one-off act of democracy?

@SR4life1981@davelj25 The Legion All Stars were set up to serve both Legion players AND American Legion Baseball. Legion coaches nominate and send players. Running an independent all-star event would be an entirely different situation. Who will send all star players to a generic event?"
Its offcial. The Minnesota Legion Board - its Officers issued orders that effectively kill the Legion Prpospect All Star program for 2025. All Stars quickly grew min popularity gong from 3 teams and 40 players to 11 teams and 160 players. More info at https://t.co/OkGCpBD3Kj
@SR4life1981@davelj25 The idea for additional competitive playing options originated with Legion coaches. They felt it better to hold more kids in a Legion activity on weekends than have them leaving Legion for club tourneys. Which they are.
@davelj25@SR4life1981 PS. That topic would be one to discuss and kick around with a proposal on the table. Include more folks than a few board members. Approve it or Disapprove it. Form a committee. But talk and consider. Baby out wioth the bath water?
@davelj25 Dave please go to the Development topic in the Blog topic. The Weekend area all stars was to SUPPORT coaches with an enhanced competition tool - if they chose. It was not to become a 'club" at all. We set up a Pilot Group to then make a Proposal to the Board.
Supporters of Legion baseball and the All Star program have started sending in emails with stories and comments. They will be posted with just your initials. [email protected]
Thank you everyone! All Stars was just getting its groove on But Legion officers say 'no more'.
