2012 League Schedule at SCCMBL Tab Above
The Wilmette Waves, after 11 seasons as an American Legion baseball team, switched affiliation to AABC Connie Mack in 2011 and joined a new League- the Suburban Chicago Connie Mack Baseball League- consisting of the Waves and 5 other area teams. All SCCMBL games are wood bat. Connie Mack baseball is the 18 and Under division of the American Amateur Baseball Congress (AABC, www.aabc.us ).
The Waves were co-founded in 2000 by General Manager Don Wallace and Head Coach Mike Napoleon. Since 2000, over 70 Waves players have gone on to play college baseball. Our alumni list is available on this website, as well as our team and individual records, past award winners, and our 2011 schedule/results. The Waves have a 12 year winning % of .665 and have had 12 consecutive over .500 seasons.
The Waves have won many tournaments over the years, including the 2004 Illinois American Legion Championship and the 2011 Valparaiso Collegiate Showcase. For the past 10 years the Waves have hosted the Wilmette Invitational Tournament in mid-June.
Since 2007, all Waves' players have been from New Trier High School (Winnetka, Illinois). Waves Head Coach Mike Napoleon is also head varsity baseball coach at NTHS.
Waves' GM Don Wallace is a resident of Winnetka and a Managing Director of investment firm Robert W. Baird and Co.
