Area American Legion Baseball teams like Kewaunee County, Ahnapee, Gibraltar, and Northern Door will have to wait next year to play ball.

The Wisconsin American Legion Baseball Association (WALBA) Board of Directors recommended canceling the season on May 6th before the executive committee officially axed it on Saturday. Twenty-four other states have already canceled the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The decision also cancels its postseason tournaments and its annual all-star game at Miller Park. This marks the first time since before the Great Depression that Wisconsin canceled its American Legion Baseball season.
