Welcome to MJBL
The Metropolitan Junior Baseball
The Metropolitan Junior Baseball
League, Inc. (MJBL) is a non-profit
organization out of Richmond Virginia
that was formed in 1966.
In 1991, MJBL launched its Inner City Classic
in the City of Columbia, SC. It was designed
to provide urban youth the opportunity to
travel to other cities, compete in the game
of baseball and to be exposed to diverse
cultures.
As the Classic grew, it became apparent that this event would fulfill a niche for a segment population to once again embrace the game of baseball. Thus, through this evolution, MJBL has expanded its scope to offer league play and a championship tournament on a national level. Beginning in 2008, MJBL will annually crown a National Champion for the 12 and under age group at the MJBL World Series. MJBL will continue to coordinate with Historically Black Colleges and Universities ("HBCU's") to host the Classic. The Classic will be offered to youth ages 13 through 19 to expose them to the educational and cultural enrichment opportunities that are available to them through these institutions of higher learning.
