Who Are We?
The Eugene Men’s Senior Baseball League (EMSBL) was formed in 1994 and has continued to provide competitive adult baseball in the Eugene/Springfield area ever since. EMSBL is affiliated with the Men’s Senior Baseball League (MSBL), the national governing organization for adult amateur baseball.
For players who still genuinely love the game, EMSBL offers organized, competitive baseball with wood bats, real uniforms, structured league play, and a strong baseball-first atmosphere.
Our league is built around competition, consistency, and community — while still keeping the game fun and accessible for players across a wide range of experience levels.
