The​ U.S. World Baseball of San Diego team is a non-profit independent organization. Founded by AL Alvarado, each year, players between the ages of 14 and 15, are selected from San Diego County to compete in the International World Boys League Tournament. This year's tournament will hopefully be one of the biggest and best ever. This summer, in July, we will depart San Diego where we will fly to Italy for the 43rd World Boys Baseball Tournament. We will land in Rome and see the sites while also playing approximately 3-4 Exhibition games and enhance our players and families cultural experience for an unforgettable trip which will be educational on many levels for all of us. Plus, the opportunity to compete against teams from the world over. The second week, the tournament will start where we will compete again teams from all parts of the World.

The games began in 1977, when the first team was invited to play in a Goodwill Friendship game with the Japan Boys League team in San Diego. In 1979, a team from Tijuana, Mexico was also invited to participate. In 1980, San Diego was invited to play Goodwill Friendship games in Osaka, Japan for the first time. Then in 1981, San Diego hosted the last Goodwill Friendship games.​

In 1982, the first International Tournament was held in Osaka, Japan. San Diego has participated in all of these tournaments and have hosted the tournament 4 times, 1983, 1987, 1998 and 2004.

After it was suggested other countries may want to participate in this tournament, teams from Brazil, Chinese Taipei, China, Canada, Argentina, Korea, Australia, Germany, Puerto Rico, Peru, Singapore and Italy joined Japan, Alameda, Fresno, Hawaii and San Diego in this tournament.

Many of the young men who have played for U.S. World Baseball of San Diego have had outstanding high school careers and many have gone on to compete at the college and professional level.

THANK YOU, Al Alvarado, for helping then and now to make this all possible for every young man who has participated in our organization, to maybe realize his dream to play for their country. You have touched so many lives during your leadership of U.S. World Baseball of San Diego.
