Now There's Something To Be Proud Of

History of Hallie Boys Baseball

In the early spring of 1970 a group of parents got together at the Eagles Club in Hallie and made plans to begin a youth baseball program. They called it Hallie Little League.

There were only enough kids to make up four teams that first year. The games were played on the softball field at the Eagles Club. The first game was played on June 23rd, 1970.

The following year they decided to end their affiliation with the National Little League. The name was changed to Hallie Boys Baseball. And new rule's were established such as no tryouts and an "everyone bats" lineup. Also in 1971, the Eagles Club leased some land to Hallie at no cost for a baseball field of their own. Volunteers built Hallie Little League Field. 

Today the boys play at Hallie Park. It's a baseball and softball complex in Lake Hallie, WI. There is a total of seven fields and it has full concessions (Yummy). 

1999 Babe Ruth

Last year there were eight Tball teams, seven Modified Pitch teams, ten Little League teams, seven Babe Ruth teams, and two Senior Babe Ruth teams (that play in a five team league). This accommodates players from age 5 through age 18. AND it's still growing!

Not bad for a group of parents and some hard working volunteers!

I am proud to say this is where my son plays!


Thank you for the pictures Barry!
