HISTORY - The Sheboygan Athletic Club has sponsored the community's adult baseball program since 1963, making 2007 the 45th year of Sheboygan A's baseball. The Sheboygan A's have provided many young athletes with the opportunity to play at extremely competitive levels. Hundreds of our players have had outstanding college baseball careers and received scholarships. 26 of our players have gone on to play professionally, keeping Sheboygan on the nation's baseball map. While dedication for the game and its players has been the main objective, the past 45 years have also provided much enjoyment for the fans. A's baseball has caught on and the fan base continues to grow each year!

Our new Wildwood Rally program will ensure that fans can enjoy America's favorite pastime for years to come.
