Established in 2000 by Hugh Cantrell in
Lexington, Kentucky. The Baseball Players
Association is a full service organization that
offers a division of play and a level of
competition that all baseball players can
enjoy..
MISSION STATEMENT
Today more than ever, conducting your business
in a cost-effective manner is a crucial
ingredient to success. If you are spending a
significant amount of time and money in securing
qualifying tournaments and post season
tournaments, you are probably losing thousands
of dollars each year.
The Baseball Players Association (BPA) is
specifically designed to meet the special needs
of each complex owner and the parks/recreation
departments for today and in the future. That
means under BPA's present structure your complex
will never have to bid on a post season
tournament. The BPA is not in the tee shirt
novelty business - those rights belong to your
complex and the tournament director. Around the
country, park/complex owners and park/recreation
directors search for new and better ways to
satisfy their teams, managers and sponsors.
Where there is a need, BPA is ready to respond
with a system that guarantees more post season
berths to the teams participating in BPA leagues
and tournaments. This alone will make the teams,
managers and sponsors more receptive to playing
in your parks.
The BPA offers your complex and parks/recreation
department the opportunity to send baseball
teams directly to the State, National Regional
and World Series Tournaments through BPA
sanctioned leagues and qualifying tournaments at
no cost to you.
The BPA also offers your complex and
parks/recreation department the opportunity to
host State, National Regional and World Series
Tournaments every year at not cost to you. NO
BIDDING! The BPA is an organization with you,
the parks & recreation director or private
complex owner in mind.

in the United States. We will achieve success by
