ABOUT THE ALBANY TWILIGHT LEAGUE

The Albany Twilight League is a summer amateur/semi-pro baseball league for players 18 years and older. It is the oldest league in the country in existence since 1931. The league has seen dozens of players over its 82 years of existence go on to enjoy professional baseball careers and some return after their pro careers to extend their playing days. The majority of current players are either playing college ball or have played collegiately, and participate in the league each summer to hone their skills and aspire to play professionally. The league is looking for an individual who enjoys baseball and is studying sports management/marketing (or web maintenance) to be the lead person in promoting the current season.
