The 2024 Red season marks the 25th anniversary of Red's 1999 National Championship.
In honor of the anniversary, the National American Legion published a story in February 2024 about the '99 Red team.
Read it Here:
"Minnesota Team Powered its Way to the 1999 American Legion World Series Title"

 

National also recently ranked the 1999 Red team as having the 5th most dominant title run of all time.
Read it Here:
Which ALWS Champions Had the Most Dominant Title Runs?

 

Although Red was not a participant, the 2007 Central Plains Regional Tournament
(hosted by Marshall MN) was moved to the Metrodome after 5" of rain fell in Marshall.
The teams played all night, round-the-clock, to determine the Regional Champ ... Eden Prairie.

An Important Message to Parents, from Program Manager, Nik Anderson

"I read an excerpt called, "The Matheny Manifesto," by Mike Matheny (Manager of the St. Louis Cardinal.) It is a letter to the parents of a little league team that he
coached, which he shared every year. He coaches his big leaguers the same way. Matheny's letter hit home with me, so I wanted to share some pieces of it with
you, that apply to OUR team. I've made adjustments to it for our organization, but would like all of you to track along with me -- (

Other Local, State and National News

CHS FIELD:
Over the course of a number of years, Tri-City Red staff was involved in the CHS Field construction effort, by testifying at the MN Legislature, attending related events, and helping to grow grass-root support for a new ballpark to replace Midway stadium (which was recently torn down). As a result, Fourth District American Legion Baseball also enjoys a unique relationship with the City of St. Paul, enabling us to use the park for Legion games, when it is avaialble. In fact, during the construction of CHS, a time-capsule was installed within the walls of the park (to be opened in 2065) -- and materials pertaining to Tri-City Red and 4th District Legion Baseball were contributed to it.
Learn more about CHS Field (in St. Paul's Lowertown) through its web site.

Tri-City Red competes within the 4th District, with respect to League Play. For more info about the season, visit the

Show Your Support of the Tri-City Legion!

As has been the case with many Legion Posts in recent years, the long-time sponsor of our baseball teams, Tri-City American Legion Post 513, faced struggles due to economic conditions -- and was forced to close its building, originally located on Old Highway 8 in New Brighton. (Tri-City continues to be a chartered Post -- it simply no longer has a building at which to hold community events and meetings.) You can show your onogoing appreciation to the Legion for all of the valuable contributions it makes to the community (in addition to sponsorship of the Legion baseball teams!), by supporting their continuing programs that benefit our area schools, veterans, youth, and the community at large. For information please visit the Post Facebook page. Also, if you are a veteran -- or if an immediate member of your family is a veteran -- please consider joining the Tri-City family as a member (Legion, Auxiliary, Sons of the American Legion)!

(Because my father was a WWII veteran, I can proudly say that I am an American Legion Auxiliary member! Gail)

54th Annual Princeton Invitational Tournament

View / Print Tournament Bracket

NOTE:
Due to Rice Lake dropping from the tourney on Friday morning (leaving 7 teams), the format was changed to pool play, with the Princeeton VFW team removed, to create 2 pools of 3 teams

VIEW POOL PLAY SCHEDULE & RESULTS

8-Team Bracketed tournament:

Participating Teams: Tri-City Red, Princeton, Lino Lakes (Centennial), Zimmerman, Grand Rapids (replaced by Princeton VFW), Rice Lake WI, Elk River, Hibbing

Games played at Solheim Veterans Field, which is located within Mark Park,
405 11th Avenue South, Princeton, MN 55371
Take Highway 169, north through Elk River and Zimmerman. Take the Rum River Dr. exit (when traveling north on 169 --it's the 1st exit for Princeton, which is also indicated as the exit for the hospital and airport. You'll see the ballpark lights in the distance, to the N/NW.) At the bottom of the exit ramp, turn right on Rum River Drive. Continue to 5th Street; go left on 5th (westbound). Continue roughly 6 blocks (you'll likely see signs for
Mark Park along the way.) You will come to a T. Turn right, then a quick left into the parking lot. The parking lot also serves as the entry drive for Princeton's waterpark, Splash Park.

There WILL be a gate fee for spectators, full concessions, lighted field.

Although we did not participate in this tournament from 2014-2022, Tri-City Red has a historic record of Princeton championships (9), although, in many of the years NOT listed here, we did not actually participate! Princeton Championships include:
1993, 1994, 1997, 1999, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2012, and 2013.
