Brief History of the CRBL and Amateur Baseball in Augusta

Augusta Wisconsin Baseball Historical information contributed by Andy Niese.  Andy has written a history of Amateur Baseball in Northwest Wisconsin.  His work has been accepted by and is available at the library of the Baseball's Cooperstown NY Hall of Fame - more information here soon

An Amateur Baseball League in Northwest Wisconsin was created in 1908 and played in the 1908 and 1909 seasons.  The League was recreated in 1927 and played until 1941 when World War II intruded.  The league returned in 1946 and has been active through 2014 

Augusta Wisconsin's participation dates to as early as the 1950's when the Augusta Red Sox were formed.  The Augusta Team played in various leagues including the Trempealeau and Clover Leaf leagues.  Interest waned in the 1960's and the team was disbanded.

1980:

Jan Kruger, with his passion for Augusta and Baseball, helped create the Augusta Alumni team in 1980.   The team at first was an independent non-league team.  The team's popularity grew and in 1989 the Augusta Athletics joined the Chippewa River Baseball League and has been active continually ever since

Jan has passed away  but is remembered by the Jan Krueger Diamond at Memorial Field in Augusta Wisconsin.
