Who is the Founder of the SJMSBL?
Correct Answer: Bill Curzie, SJMSBL President 1992- 1996

In March of 1992 Bill saw an article advertising the MSBL and @ 56 years old, he decided to call the MSBL, Steve Sigler answered. The two met in Cherry Hill and the SJMSBL started to form. Mike Coburn, at the time President of Connecticut MSBL and Northeast coordinator helped form the SJMSBL. A story in the Burlington County Times (Jack Knarr was the editor) featuring Men’s Senior Baseball was Curzie’s first recruiting tool. The article asked interested players and teams to come to Delran High School. Among those showing were Gary Brown (1996- 2011 president of the SJMSBL) and Allan Scott. The inaugural 1992 Season got off to a late start. On June 15th, 1992, In front of 6 teams, the Mayor of Delran said a few words to dedicate the season @ the AA Field in Riverside.
