07/23/26 This week in Baseball (SECLMW style)

 07/23/26 This week in Baseball (SECLMW style)

All "my" stuff is unofficial and subject to my mistakes, errors and misunderstandings

* American Legion Regionals - Based on the American Legion page https://americanlegion.sportngin.com/page/show/9342693-2026-regional-tournament-hub - Ohio and West Virginia will play in the Southeast and Missouri and Kansas in the Great Lakes.

* Big  long list of the various American Legion state tournaments (teams, brackets) is available at https://albdistrict2mi.blogspot.com/2026/07/072026-seclmw-great-lakes-region.html - I will try to get the scores into this - but just the scores;  I also have some material on the other Southeast Regional states.

I have individual state listings that may contain more detail, especially the Michigan lists - 

I intend to update the state site and - if I can - then the big listing;

No guarantees to how successful I'll be - the world is paved with good intentions!
