Last year, COVID-19 took away a Summer Classic – the All-American Amateur Baseball Association Tournament, but COVID couldn’t keep the August tradition away forever. Now, the AAABA is returning to it’s home of Sargent Stadium at the Point for the 76th Annual AAABA Tournament starting on Monday.
The Teams have arrived in Johnstown. The New Orleans Boosters made history as the first team to fly into the Johnstown Airport for the Tournament and after two years of waiting, the team will defend their AAABA crown this week.
