The final week of the 2024 is playing out fast as teams are looking towards the start of the postseason on October 1st. The Brewers clinched the season’s first postseason spot for the NL, and were quickly joined by the Dodgers, Phillies and Padres. The Yankees secured the first spot for the AL and have since been joined by the Guardians, Orioles and Astros.

One of our missions is to promote the game of baseball, raise money for charity, and inspire and educate youth through positive sport images. We achieve this through our free Legends for Youth Clinic Series held worldwide. This month, eight alumni joined us in Dyersville, IA for a clinic at the famous Field of Dreams!
September 30, 1927 – Babe Ruth became the first player in Major League History to hit 60 home runs in a single season in the 8th inning of a 4-2 win for the Yankees. Ruth’s record stood until Roger Maris hit 61 in 1961.
