ALWS champs to attend MLB World Series in Cleveland

When American Legion Baseball alumni Jason Kipnis, second baseman for the Cleveland Indians, and Kris Bryant, third baseman for the Chicago Cubs, take the field this week in a historic Major League Baseball World Series, they will have a special cheering section in the crowd.

The 2016 American Legion World Series champions, Texarkana, Ark., will be attending Games 1 and 2 in Cleveland to see the host Indians face the Chicago Cubs. This trip continues a 90-year tradition of having the ALWS champion team attend the MLB World Series.

"It is great to be able to provide our champions with such an amazing reward for their hard work," said Gary Stone, American Legion Baseball Committee chairman.
