Once again the JBLN is coming to an end of a successful season, as we continue to provide the youth of the nation a venue to compete, make friends,learn the game of baseball, and hopefully have a life learning experience that will continue with them as they grow into adults.


There are many individuals who make this league a success each and every year, and I wish to thank all of them for their organization and dedication to the children who play in this league. These are the committed people who, in well organized fashion, provide JBLN kids with the proper venue for competition and growth.


The individuals are too numerous to mention here but I would personally like to thank them all, including:
