SHELBY, N.C. — You’ve heard of
Williamsport, Penn., and Omaha, Neb.,
because of their affiliation with the Little
League and College World Series. In a few
years, Shelby, N.C., will become synonymous with those two cities because of the
success of the fairly-new permanent home
of the American Legion Baseball World
Series.
The 87th annual American Legion
Baseball World Series — the third straight
here in Shelby — is set to be another
record-breaking series after last summer
witnessed nearly 102,000 baseball fans
converge on the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. Many renovations have
been made to Keeter Stadium and event
organizers are expecting another recordsetting event.
As far as the baseball teams go, there
are two newcomers to the ALWS with
Burnsville, Minn., and Petaluma, Calif.
Three teams are making their second appearances. And three teams — Brooklawn,
N.J., Gonzales, La., and Branford, Conn.
— have a combined 20 years of ALWS
experience.
Action starts on Friday at 9:30 a.m. with
Burnsville, Minn., facing Napoleon, Ohio.
Napoleon has been to one ALWS, in 2001,
but did not win a game. So no matter
what, an ALWS first will happen with the
outcome of the game.

What’s the American Legion?
Carl Hennell
WSJ Editor
You’ve been either a fan of,
or playing, American Legion
baseball for a few years now, but
do you know what the American
Legion is?
The American Legion was
created in 1919 by veterans of
World War I to help men and
women, who were returning
home from war physically and
mentally changed, reacclimate
to the civilian world. There are
many divisions of the American
Legion that advocate for various
aspects of military veterans’ affairs. Those aspects range from
centers of health care, education,
career, family assistance and
financial support to committees
that promote Americanism (like
baseball, shooting sports, oratorical contests, Boys & Girls State/
Nation, flag etiquette and citizenship) and community services
like the Legion Riders — which
is a chapter of motorcycle riders
who are well known for their
charitable work that has raised
hundreds of thousands of dollars
for local children’s hospitals,
schools, veterans homes, se-
verely wounded servicemembers
and scholarships — not to mention staging a presence to thwart
protesters at military funerals. In conjunction with services to
veterans, the American Legion
also puts together national youth
programs. Baseball is just one
of them: Boys State, Oratorical
and shooting are others. But why
youth programs?
The purpose of the youth
programs is to instill teamwork,
confidence, sportsmanship,
citizenship in democracy and the
importance of fitness in America’s younger generations. The Legion chose to lead youth
programs because it saw that
in order to be successful as an
organization, it needed to focus
on community service and these
programs were the best way to
get involved in each individual
community across the county.
The American Legion chartered its baseball program in
1925 to promote Americanism.
Since 1926, the American Legion has sponsored the American
Legion Baseball World Series.
To put that date in perspective,
the Little League World Series
started in 1947, meaning the
ALWS is 21 years older. One
reason why the LLWS is more
popular, though, is because the
ALWS moved from city to city
every year, meaning no con-
sistency was established. That,
however, has changed. In 2010,
the American Legion announced
that Shelby, N.C., will host the
ALWS for the foreseeable future.
Do you know a combat veteran? If so, you probably know
about the mental issues he or she
is dealing with (whether they
are hiding them in their mind or
letting them out). Whatever the
case, we all need to support them
in their reacclimation to society
because they experienced the
atrocities of war for the sake of
all of us. Brooklawn, N.J., lost 2012 championship
Continued from Page 1
At 1 p.m. Petaluma, Calif.,
plays Gonzales, La. Gonzales is
making its sixth ALWS appearance. It has a 10-10 record here
and has placed second and third.
All five of its previous appearance came between 1988 and
1996.
In a rematch of a 2011 ALWS
first-round game, Waipahu,
Hawaii and Brooklawn, N.J.
square off at 5 p.m. That 2011
first-round game was full of
late-game fireworks as Brooklawn erased a 2-0 deficit in the
eighth inning and then scored
the winning run on a one-out,
walk-off single in the bottom of
the ninth in a 3-2 victory. This
is Waipahu’s second ALWS
appearance after going 0-2 in
2011. It brings 3 boys back
from that team. Brooklawn is no
stranger to the ALWS or Shelby.
It has appeared in the last three
ALWS here in Shelby and lost
last summer’s championship
game. The only team to beat the
Bulldogs last year was the New
Orleans national champions.This
is Brooklawn’s 13th appearance at the ALWS, where it has
compiled a 33-22 record with
two national championships, two
second-place finishes and four
third-place finishes.
In Friday’s nightcap, Branford,
Conn., will face Wilmington,
N.C. Branford is making its
fourth ALWS appearance, all
since 2005. It has a 3-6 record
here with one third-place finish.
This is Wilmington’s second trip
here. It went 1-2 in 1970.

SHELBY, N.C. — Patience may be
tested at the 2013 American Legion Baseball
World Series because Mother Nature is not
expected to cooperate with baseball.
The foothills of the North Carolina
Appalachian Mountains have been getting
drenched this summer, with around 40 to 50
inches of rain. It is supposed to continue this
weekend.
According to The Weather Channel, at
10 a.m.
on Friday
there is a
50 percent
chance of
showers
and mid60-degree
temperatures. On Saturday and Sunday nights, there
is a 60 percent chance of showers.
