About the league

Wisconsin Baseball Association member amateur baseball league in the Mississippi River valley region around La Crosse, Viroqua, Holmen, Bangor, Norwalk, and nearby communities.

Like most men's leagues, it plays real hardball across Viroqua Sox, Holmen Features, Norwalk Knights, Bangor Redbirds, La Crosse 35ers, La Crescent Cardinals, Sparta Miller 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 Mississippi Valley League 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: La Crosse-area players can book batting cages and find training facilities and open fields to practice at nearby.
