Springfield Browns on the Move

IN 2011 WE ARE TURNING BACK THE CLOCK TO THE 1950s and 1960s

For one special year, the Springfield Metro Baseball League is bringing back the storied teams of baseball's past.

In 2011 we have outfitted all our teams in uniforms depicting teams of the 1950s and 1960s like the Saint Louis Browns, the Kansas City Athletics, the Houston Colt 45's, and the Brooklyn Dodgers.

In this endeavor we have sought out and received the cooperation of a number of the historians of many of the teams unique to the era.

The Majors and Seniors are playing the full 90 foot bases and a 60'6" mound. There are some minor base running restrictions in place, but for the most part rules mirror standard Major League rules. **The new Minors division plays on 75 foot bases with a 50 foot mound and has playing rules aimed at player development. All leagues have a 14 game regular season and all teams play at least 4 more games in our annual World Series.
