About Us

The Barbers were established in 2010 as the Portland Barbers when Don Lovell expressed interest in sponsoring an American Legion team in the Portland Metropolitan area. Since their inaugural season, the Barbers have established themselves as one of the most recognizable and successful AAA American Legion programs in the state of Oregon. In fifteen seasons, the Barbers have a record of 487 wins, 177 losses, and 3 ties for a .735 winning percentage. The Barbers have won thirteen zone #2 league titles, two AAA State titles (2023, 2025), one Northwest Regional Title (2025), and finished 3rd at the American Legion World Series in 2025. The Barbers have qualified for the AAA legion state tournament for fifteen consecutive seasons, and have finished with the best record out of every AAA legion team in Oregon eight times (2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2022, 2023, 2025) since their inaugural season.

The Barbers hope to provide a fun, competitive summer baseball experience. We want to help our players gain exposure, especially for the young men that aspire to play in college and beyond. Since 2010, over 150 former players have made college baseball rosters. Most importantly, we hope that each of our players use this experience to become confident, successful, and productive members in our communities.
