The organization is home based at Limestone Community High School and uses six baseball fields there, including three lighted fields, with additional games played at Oak Grove School. The program’s mission is to provide a quality baseball program for the youth of the Bartonville area, offering both a recreational outlet and a fundamental instructional program to develop players to excel for Limestone Community High School when they come of age, while participation in the program instills positive values of teamwork, sportsmanship, and community involvement. The organization continues to thrive due to the support of players, families, and the community.
The Limestone Summer Classic offers three games guaranteed, weather permitting, with medals awarded for 1st and 2nd place and flexible scheduling to accommodate each team’s needs. It is recognized as one of the most well-organized and longest-running tournaments in Central Illinois. Limestone Youth Baseball is part of a community that is the hometown to major league baseball players Jim Thome, Mike Dunne, Brandon Wikoff, and Seth Schwindenhammer. Jason Smith serves as President of Limestone Youth Baseball.
A 12U parent, Tom Garske, thanked the coaches and volunteers for working hard on the diamonds during a weekend with poor weather, noting that some took time off work to make sure the fields were playable and that he did not expect the kids would be able to play those first two days.
