2022 KALISPELL LAKERS BASEBALL

Hello American Legion Baseball fans!

The Kalispell Lakers American Legion Baseball program would like to humbly and excitedly welcome you to the Flathead Valley, Kalispell, and Griffin Field! Make sure you’re escaping the hot summer fun with some dips in our Flathead County’s 161 lakes. They’re what we’re named after! Hit us up! Welcome to our humble little abode, Griffin Field in Begg Park. It’s been called “the most characteristic place” in the AA conference. Unlike most of Montana’s Class AA programs, Griffin Field never had professionals looking over it--or the funds--like minor-league baseball teams. Coaches and players and families and friends have to continually volunteer their time and effort. The first known American Legion Baseball team in Kalispell was fielded in 1947, 70 completed seasons ago. The Kalispell Legion Baseball Association, as we know it today, was organized in1968, while the Kalispell Lakers were officially established in 1970. Baseball lights were installed in 1970. In 1978, the program won its only state title. In 1987, the Lakers fielded two teams for the first time. In 2017, the Lakers fielded three teams for the first time (AA, A & B). Griffin Field was named after the mayor of Kalispell from 1896-1902 and 1906-1908, named Walter H. Griffin. He past away in 1924. Griffin Field was donated to the City of Kalispell on February 24, 1926, by Robert & Hulda Griffin along with Theresa Foot. For over 50 years, the original field was located in a plot of land, which is the Super 1 store by Moose’s now. There are lots of tales of balls bouncing through car windows from that place for 53 years! (Of note: ALB fans, please be aware that balls may hit spectators and vehicles. Park and watch the games appropriately). New Griffin Field at Begg Park opened on July 25, 1987.

American Legion Baseball is a national institution, having thrived through a world war, several national tragedies, and times of great prosperity as well as great despair. The league still stands behind the traditional values upon which it was founded in 1925. American Legion Baseball has taught hundreds of thousands of young Americans the importance of sportsmanship, good health and active citizenship. The program is also a promoter of equality, making teammates out of young athletes regardless of their income levels or social standings. American Legion Baseball has been, and continues to be, a stepping stone to manhood for millions of young men who have gone on to serve their country or community, raise families or play the sport at the highest level.
