The Fort Wayne MSBL was founded in 1992 to satisfy the need for adult, amateur baseball in the Fort Wayne area by giving men 28 years of age and older an alternative to softball. The Fort Wayne MSBL is a member of the National MSBL which consists of over 300 local affiliates, over 3,000 teams and more than 44,000 members. The MSBL members are serious amateur athletes of various skill levels ranging from high school players to ex-professionals.

The Fort Wayne MSBL generally plays a 22-game schedule that begins in late April to early May and concludes with a playoff tournament in September. Games are played in and around the Fort Wayne area and include Leo, Decatur, Huntington, and Churubusco. Depending on availability and funding, the league has offered games to its athletes in Memorial Stadium, the home of the Sand Diego Padres' single A affiliate the Fort Wayne Wizards.

This year, 2005, the league is developing, in addition to its regular season, a fall season that will begin in late August/early September and finish in October. The league is trying to provide additional play for athletes who wish to have an extended season, and to athletes who may more conveniently fit into the fall season. This fall season will also allow players who compete in the fall national tournaments an opportunity to continue competing until the time of the tournaments.

There are two national tournaments each year, the MSBL World Series and the Fall Classic which take place in Arizona and Florida, respectively. The FWMSBL has continually been represented in both tournaments for nearly the last eight years.

League History
In 1993, the Fort Wayne MSBL highlighted the Fort Wayne sports scene with a benefit game for the Northeast Indiana Easter Seal Society. For one evening, August 26, Memorial Stadium became a 'field of dreams'. Some of the greatest names in Major League Baseball played against players from the FWMSBL. Some of the legendary names included Johnny Bench, Bert Campaneris, George Foster, Mark Fidrych, Doug Flynn, Bill Lee, Mike Torrez, Bill Almon, and Pedro Borbon.

In 1997 the league consisted of six teams.

In 2003 the league expanded to 12 teams across two divisions, American and National Leagues. The American League included the teams: Rangers, Yankees, Indians, Tigers, Athletics, and Orioles. The National League teams were the Reds, Giants, Brewers, Marlins, Diamond Backs, and Cardinals.

In 2007 the league was again reorganized to maintain a 12 team league which includes the Rangers, Indians, Tigers, Athletics, Cubs, Red Sox, Reds, Angels, Yankees, Marlins, Diamond Backs, and Cardinals.
