In 2011, Shelby, North Carolina, was names as the permanent home for the American Legion Baseball World Series.  Attendance in 2016 was 120,000.  The last three winners:

Texarkana, Arkansas, Post 58 in 2016
Henderson, Nevada, Post 40 in 2017
Wilmington, Delaware, Post 1 in 2018

Probably one of the most interesting names for an American Legion team comes from Hooker, Oklahoma, whose team is named the Hooker Horny Toads.  Hooker is in the Oklahoma Panhandle.  Of course, I just had to have one of their tee shirts.
