About the league

A recreational adult amateur baseball league in Northwest Indiana, one of the region's largest, operating 18+ and 38+ divisions (with a proposed 50+ division) and carrying a NABA national charter. Some games are played at U.S. Steel Yard, home of the Gary SouthShore RailCats.

Like most men's leagues, it plays real hardball across 18+, 38+, proposed 50+ divisions, with wood or BBCOR bats, umpired games and a full season schedule. It is the kind of competitive baseball that's hard to find once high school and college ball are behind you. Rosters usually mix former high school and college players with guys returning to the game after years away, so there's typically a division that fits your level. New players can usually join SouthShore Adult Baseball League (SSABL) as a free agent or enter a full team; reach out through the league before the season sets its rosters. This is a free, unclaimed CageList directory listing; the league runs its own schedule, rosters, and registration.

Between games, keep your swing and glove sharp: Hammond-area players can book batting cages and find training facilities and open fields to practice at nearby.
