Welcome and congratulations to the Palmyra franchise for being admitted to our Lebanon County Youth Legion Baseball League for the 2024 Season.

 

 

 

Note:  In the event of a possible tie for first place at the conclusion of the regular season, a one game tie-breaker will be played at a neutral site.  This will necessitate pushing back the league playoffs.  It is imperative to have a regular season champion, because if in the event of the entire playoffs not being concluded by the drop dead date of July 14 at 5 pm, the regular season champion would be reported to the state as our Eastern Regional team for the competition that commences the following Friday, 19 July 2024.

Coaches:

Our League mourns the death of our President Ed Spittle on Saturday, 17 April 2021.  We will miss his leadership.  He was a former coach, winning two of our league's 4 state championships with Jonestown, an arbitration board member, and most recently our league President

We welcome our new league President: Steve Hollich.

Steve is a West Point graduate and a baseball, softball and basketball official.

 

Clarification: Local League Game Rules:   If you are using a Designated Hitter, per Major League rule, it can only be for the Pitcher.  You may not then use an Extra Hitter.  If you are using an Extra Hitter per our by-law rules then you may not be also using a Designated Hitter.  Only 9 or 10 players may be in the line-up to start the game.

Additional Clarification - Pitch Count Rules - Our local by-laws were written one year before Youth Legion adopted a pitch count rule.  You are to follow the rule on pages 15 and 16 of the Legion book.  If a pitcher goes beyond any level during the last batter he faces, the actual pitches made is what is recorded to determine how many days of rest will be required.

We are currently known as Lebanon County Youth Legion 2012-present

This is the former web-site of Lebanon County Junior Legion. The league existed from 1969-2011

Before that it was known as Lebanon County Connie Mack Knee-Hi Baseball League from 1950-1955/ 1963-1968

Before that it was known as Lebanon County Midget Baseball League in 1949

 The Lebanon County Youth Legion Baseball League is looking for teener age teams to compete in the league next season, 2024, and take it to the next level.  Develop your team from a clearly defined geographic area in Lebanon  County, no raiding of players from another team's territory.  Compete with other teams from around the state, not with all-stars, but with your team, which you developed and coached during the regular season.  Youth Legion is the largest provider of baseball for 13 to 16 year olds in the state of Pennsylvania with 17 leagues and 118 teams in 35 counties under its jurisdiction.

The league has been in existence since 1949 and has had many great players, coaches, and managers in its storied past.  For further information please contact Vice-President Skip Wolf  717-272-8844 or President Steve Hollich 717-507-0411.
