Metro Baseball League History

1992- Volunteers from Apple Valley, Bloomington, Burnsville, Eagan, Eden Prairie, Hastings, Lakeville, Prior Lake, Rosemount, Shokopee, and Wayzata banded together to form the South Metro Baseball League (SMABL).

1996- Significant growth occured when the Northstar League, which were primarily north metro teams, merged into the SMABL and changed to Metro Baseball League (MBL).

1997- The demise of the MYBA brought a number of additional east metro teams to the MBL.

1999- Bloomington Classic League brought close to 150 teams into the MBL.
The North Classic League also agreed to merge their 60 teams into the league.
A total of 486 teams competed, making it the largest baseball league of its kind in the nation.
