Lafayette American Legion

Post 517 Baseball

We will be back in full swing this summer reestablishing our Generals Legion Program as one of the best in Northern California. After having just a junior legion from last year coached by Tony Dress, we’ll have a three teams sponsored by American Legion Post 517.

 Max Luckhurst will be back for his fourth season as our AA Legion coach. Former Lafayette General and professional player, John Zuber, who is the new coach at Acalanes High School, will be involved with all three of our Legion teams. We will have a 15-only junior legion team coached by Dan Crevin and Fred Stone.

 MT Robertson will coach the 17 and under junior legion team along with Coach Zuber. We will draw players from the following high schools:

                         Acalanes High School

                        Alhambra High School

                        Campolindo High School

                        Miramonte High School

 FIELDS:

             15 and under Generals            Campolindo H.S./Alhambra

            17 and under Junior Legion            Campolindo H.S./Alhambra
