125 Years Of
AAU Baseball
For decades, Amateur Athletic
Union (AAU) Baseball has
offered amateur athletes an
opportunity to take part in
Americaʼs favorite pastime.
This year, the organization is
celebrating its 125th anniversary.
Founded in 1888, AAU is
the oldest amateur sports
organization in the United
States. In fact, until the 1970s,
AAU was the national governing body for nearly all Olympic
Sports, said Debra Horn, senior sports manager for AAU
Baseball. "The motto of AAU is
ʻSports for All, Forever,ʼ" said
Horn. "Our mission is to offer
amateur sports programs
through a volunteer base for
all people to have the physical,
mental and moral development
of amateur athletes and to promote good sportsmanship and
good citizenship." ■
