About
What’s the Midland story?
Lately, you may have seen the golden block “M” on baseball caps around the Gainesville and greater North Florida region. And it may call to mind a certain championship-caliber university. No one could fault you for that assumption…But to set the record straight, our block “M” represents Midland Baseball, and we’re here to make a mark in North Florida and beyond.
Midland Baseball history dates back to 1966 when Joe “Papa Joe” Haden Jr. founded the organization, known then as the Midland Redskins. Today, Midland has grown to include 6 chapters across 6 states, as well as the National chapter with teams ranging from 7u to 18u. Midland North Florida is honored and excited to carry on the tradition in one of the most competitive baseball regions in the country.
