The Wisconsin Amateur Baseball Classic Tournaments are the brain child of West Bend Baseball Association Secretary Craig Larsen and Kewaskum A’s manager Jim Ziegler, as they wanted to unite the State of Wisconsin’s top amateur baseball leagues in an organized, high level baseball tournament.

What started out as a dream of just a single weekend tournament has turned into a tournament that attracts teams from all over the midwest, with a waiting list, and that has spawned into multiple tournaments, and end of the year Wisconsin State Tournament, and a statewide association.

The WABC, with support from the West Bend Baseball Association uses the tournament to shine a spotlight on West Bend and the Washington County area’s high level baseball fields. Carl M. Kuss Field in West Bend is the flagship field of the WABC tournaments.
