  Take me out to the ball field …….What an exciting time we had at our son’s First T-ball game! He was ready and willing to play. Confidence and a bit nervous but ready for what was to come….He did well and was a bit upset when he thought he “lost” his ball cap! Thankfully he found it. He is 5 and this was his debut of organized sports. They all looked so nice in their own brand new uniforms! Girls and Boys! I overheard a dad saying with so much pride…”I’ve been waiting for such a long time for this day!” I nearly cried…We are very very thankful for the chance for our son to play and get the experience of playing ball in clean and enjoyable surroundings. Getting ready for the NEW fields is also very exiting…Wonderful memories coming…Thank you to ALL involved in this most grateful endeavor….God Bless You!
- Without League 42 Josh might not have been exposed to baseball or discovered another hidden talent. League 42 not only makes the game affordable but the passion of the founder and coaches is passed on to the children. There are invaluable opportunities on and off the field including clinics, field trips, and special discounted events. The experience is invaluable and our community is better because of it. The growth of the league itself speaks volumes. Thank you League 42

  What league 42 means to me:
  
  2 years ago when I found out about League 42 I was excited. I had been wanting to put my son in a sport, but as a single mom, I had to worry about cost. Baseball with League 42 came right on time. My son did not have a glove and was provided one at no cost to us, and the $30 registration fee to play was absolutely worth it to see him and all the other young boys and girls doing something that makes playing baseball the great American pastime that it is.
  
  These kids are not just learning Baseball, they are learning respect; not just for the game but for their peers and the adults around them. League 42 is so much more than fields, balls, umpires and coaches, hotdogs and sunflower seeds…it’s an attitude, a mindset, that being a part of something so great, so tangible can change or shape the lives of everyone involved. The children and parents of League 42 needed this. Wichita, Kansas needed this.
  
  I think I speak for all parents when I say, Thank you League 42 for making baseball great again.

  About three years ago I read a short article in the Wichita Eagle about a youth baseball clinic being held at McAdam’s Park. I’m a single parent and knew nothing about baseball. I like to keep my two son’s busy so I thought why not go out and see what this clinic is all about. This was the very first clinic League 42 held. I was so impressed with the people and volunteers involved. I immediately knew that I wanted my boys and myself to be a part of it! Besides, my boy’s are learning about this awesome game. I was able to learn about it myself. I enjoy being out there cheering on the kids with all of the other parents and family members. I truly believe that this league has brought our community closer and has given our children a safe and fun place to be at. I’m happy to be involved with all these wonderful people. League 42 is not just baseball. It’s a family! Thank you all!

  My two sons have been in League 42 since season 1 in 2014. This is their third year in the league. I originally saw the ad in the Wichita Eagle for the baseball clinic representing Jackie Robinson. My sons have been to various baseball clinics with League 42 which include outfield clinics, batting clinics, and base running clinics to name a few. These clinics help the kids learn new skills and touch up on baseball basics during the season as well as during the off season. They have also been to many outings with the league such as WWE and the Wichita Thunder hockey team and to watch movies at the palace. My sons have had the opportunity to play baseball in a league that displays overall sportsmanship and teamwork in a safe environment. League 42 makes it affordable for the families so that is one less worry for the parents. I hope to continue with the league for years to come.
