ABOUT DISTRICT 18_

 

CALIFORNIA DISTRICT 18 HISTORY:  In 1953, Little League Baseball was established in the San Gabriel Valley. The first city to join Little League Baseball was South Pasadena National in 1952. In 1953 District 18 was established as one of the original 33 California Districts.  In 1958 District 18 held its first Little League Baseball All-Star Tournament which was won by Norwood Village Little League now known as El Monte National.   Over the past 68 years more than 70,000 players from District 18 have competed for a chance to participate in a World Series. In 1978 the Sunnyslope Senior Softball team became the first team to reach a World Series. In 2010 the El Monte American Little League Juniors won the Western Regional Championship to become the first baseball team in District 18 history to advance to a World Series.   In September of 1994, Milan Mrakich received a letter from Creighton J. Hale, President and Chief Executive Officer of Little League Baseball officially informing him that Al Millham, District 18 Administrator was stepping down on November 1, 1994 and appointed Milan Mrakich as District Administrator. At that point Milan became, at age 28, the youngest person in Little League history to be appointed or elected to the position of District Administrator.   California District 18 is a racially and economically diverse community that encompasses cities from South El Monte to Dodger Stadium and beyond. The District has grown in size and strength over the past 68 years in part because of strong leadership and committed volunteers at both the district and league levels. District 18 has the reputation of being a well-run organization with strong teams in both baseball and softball. The District staff dedicates themselves to working with league presidents and board members in order to guide their efforts in providing a strong and positive program for the youth of the District.

California District 18 Administrators: 1953-1957 - Jim Hamilton, 1958-1966 - Roy Praisler, 1967-1994 - Al Millham, 1994-present - Milan Mrakich.  

Our leagues were all able to regroup and restart this season after losing the 2020 season to COVID.  We will begin our all-star tournaments at the end of June and continue through Section and State Tournaments.  

PLAY BALL!
