About Us
In the Beginning:
The Lone Star Amateur Baseball Association was founded in 1995 by David
Griffin, Jim Bradberry and Sam Carpenter to provide an opportunity for
baseball players 18-years old and under to play the best baseball possible.
The initial year of play the league had 26 teams, 12 in the 16-Under Mickey
Mantle Division and 14 in the 18-Under Connie Mack Division. Since that time
a 14-Under Division has been added and in 1999 there were 38 teams in the
Association.
League play is designed to accomplish several objectives: 1) provide
flexibility in scheduling to allow teams to participate in invitational
tournaments that are held during the course of the regular season; 2) to
provide a level of competition commensurate with each team’s skill level;
and 3) to provide opportunities for post-season play to the teams with
winning records. Although the rules for play in the Association are the
rules governing play under the auspices of the American Amateur Baseball
Association as amended by vote of the managers, the Association provides
opportunities for post-season play in several national organizations,
including AABC, AAU, CABA, NABF, NBC and USSSA.
League play begins in mid-May for 16U and in late
May for 18U. Each team will play an 18 game schedule in either
Mickey Mantle League (16U) or Connie Mack League (18U). Team
rosters may have as many as 20 players, although most have 15-16 players.
Each team and field is covered by a AABC supplemental insurance policy
issued through K&K Insurance. We have been very fortunate
in securing both good fields to play on and good, energetic game officials
