MN Ranks #1
Nationally !!
For almost a decade, Minnesota has ranked
#1 in the Nation, with respect to having
the highest number of registered teams --
and our total number of teams
continues to GROW each season!
Because the

in terms of the number of registered
teams,
we retain the distinction of being one of
the few States that is designated to send
two teams to
Senior Division I Regional competition.

2022 Jim Bass Award
(Coach of the Year) This award was presented
for the first time in 2010. Jim Bass was a
legendary coach on the East Side of St. Paul,
who was heavily involved in coaching many youth
sports, in addition to baseball. Awarded the
Purple Heart for service to his country in
Vietnam (wounded three separate times), his
injuries ultimately led to significant health
problems, resulting in his premature death at the
age
of 58 in 2000. As Manager and Head Coach of the
Arcade-Phalen American Legion Baseball team, Jim
led the team to a State Championship title
in 1979, a State Runner-up title in 1980, as well
as numerous 4th District Championships during his
tenure.
4th District Coaches determine the recipient of
this award through a blind vote.;
the honor of receiving this award signifies the
great respect held for a coach by his peers --
for his service to his players, his community,
and the game in general, both on and off the
field.
