Welcome to RMJBL

The Richmond Metropolitan Junior Baseball League was founded as the Metropolitan Junior Baseball League, Inc. (MJBL). MJBL is a non-profit organization that was founded in Richmond, VA in 1966. MJBL was founded by Dr. William M.T. Forrester and generally acknowledged as one of the oldest African-American owned and operated inner-city youth baseball leagues in America.
