Baseball in Sidney has a long and storied history. Along with a number of
town teams and youth teams,
Sidney was the host of
the 1975 class "B" American Legion Nebraska State Championship and the
legion team finished second in the state in 1976.
The current Legion Field features a well manicured grass infield, good lighting for night baseball, aluminum grandstands and a nice pressbox.

| Sidney is a community on the move and the ball diamond at Legion Park is a gem in the panhandle of Nebraska. The entire complex features seven softball and baseball diamonds. Thanks to Justin Long for the great pictures of this park and if anyone has additional historical information about Sidney baseball let me know. (besser@marian.creighton.edu). |
