As of our December 10, 2018 league meeting, the St. Louis Latinos have been added to the Mon-Clair Baseball League as the tenth team for the 2019 Season. The Latinos will be placed in the St. Clair Division with four other teams also based in Missouri, the St.Louis Spikes, St. Louis Printers, Charleston Riverdogs and Cape Girardeau Capahas.  The Monroe Division will now consist of five Illinois based teams with Fairview Heights joining Belleville, Millstadt, Valmeyer and Waterloo. All ten teams will play a 26 game regular season schedule from May 19 through July 27. The Valmeyer Mid-Summer Classic will be held on July 4, 6 and 7. The All Star game will take place on July 17 and the Playoffs will be held from August 3-11. Should be another great season of amateur baseball in the mid west!
