About the CA Baseball Empire Adult League

About The League

 

The Non Profit All Play Baseball Inc is dedicated to growing the game of baseball by giving players of all ages a chance to play this game consistently.  Providing a much needed fun outlet every week.

 

We raise money for baseball programs that are heavily underfunded.  We pay school districts and cities for the use of fields helping them raise money for expenses that come with their operations.

 

All Play Baseball Inc, DBA CA Baseball Empire started with CA Baseball Empire Adult League.  A league built for 18 and up that has built over 20 teams across Southern CA.  Giving hundreds of players a chance to play this game we all love.

 

We have big plans coming for the future as we branch out into working with kids and expanding to having more divisions for the adults.

 

If you would like to bring a team, join a team, raise money for your program or donate to help us in our effort to continue growing this great game, contact us today!
