History of the pmbl

The Pensacola Men's Baseball League (PMBL) has been a cherished part of the local community for over 35 years. Founded by Mr. Jim Schmitz in 1988, the league began as a small gathering of baseball enthusiasts who wanted to keep the love of the game alive beyond their high school and college years. What started as a handful of teams has since blossomed into a thriving organization that continues to bring together players of all skill levels, from seasoned veterans to those rediscovering their passion for the sport.

Over the decades, the PMBL has become much more than just a baseball league. It has grown into a community, fostering camaraderie, sportsmanship, and lifelong friendships. The league provides a platform for players to stay active, compete, and create lasting memories on and off the field. Many members often describe the PMBL as a second family, united by their shared love of America’s pastime.

The league has also been a strong supporter of local baseball culture, helping to keep the spirit of the game alive in Pensacola. From hosting competitive matchups to organizing community events, the PMBL has established itself as an integral part of the city’s sporting landscape. Today, the league continues to expand its reach with a growing social media presence on platforms like Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram, ensuring that the legacy of the PMBL carries on to future generations.
