Palmetto Baseball League

PBL was founded in 1956 with the specific goal of using the game of baseball to facilitate the development of Columbia’s youth through teamwork and sportsmanship. PBL is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization supported by the unselfish efforts, contributions and volunteerism of many families in and around Columbia. Through this support, PBL strives to succeed in its mission of growing and developing our players through sportsmanship and the love of baseball.
