INDIANAPOLIS, April 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Â The head of the nation s largest veterans organization announced that The American Legion World Series will be played in Shelby, N.C., August 12-17. The eight-team championship tournament is returning after the premier baseball event was cancelled in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. As a former American Legion Baseball coach, I am extremely excited about the return of this fantastic event, American Legion National Commander James W. Bill Oxford said. With the availability of vaccines and additional data showing that young people participating in outdoor activities represent a low risk for spread of the virus, we feel that we can conduct a safe world series. This is a very different environment than what we faced last year. Many of us eagerly await the umpire s welcoming words of play ball!

Former President Bill Clinton called the summer of 1963 one of the most formative periods of his life.
It was that summer that Clinton attended Arkansas Boys State and American Legion Boys Nation, where he famously shook hands with President John F. Kennedy.
“Boys State and Boys Nation helped to teach me from a young age that democracy requires us to get off the sidelines and into the arena,” Clinton said on the March 4 episode of his podcast, “Why Am I Telling You This?”, in which he interviewed another Boys State alum, Steven Garza.
Garza is one of the Texas Boys Staters featured in the award-winning documentary, “Boys State.”
