This tournament is one of 11 World Series that is sanctioned by the American Amateur Baseball Congress (AABC). We have operated continuously since 1935. Our signature event the 18U Connie Mack World Series is considered the premier summer amateur baseball event. This event is our earliest full sized field division. It has been moved from Baton Rouge, LA to run in conjunction with the AABC Ozarks Connie Mack World Series Qualifier in Joplin, MO. It is a metal bat event. Our 14U division has been a continuous WS event since 1982.
