The Cape Cod Baseball League is a premier collegiate summer league on the Cape. Founded in 1885 as a group of town teams, the league became the top college summer league after joining with the NCAA in 1964. Today, college players from all over the country showcase their talent across the ten fields on the Cape for eight weeks every summer before moving back to college or, sometimes, major league contracts. A non-profit run by dedicated volunteers, the league provides quality family entertainment free of charge.
