As we are all aware, the Valley Baseball League has a strong history of excellence. This year is no exception. During the season, we had one player flirt with the all-time VBL average record only to lose it in the last week of the season. We had another that had a microscopic ERA all season long.

It has been a wonderful season and to celebrate, we have selected the top players from throughout the league to the All-Valley Teams. We divided the teams into their historical groupings of NORTH and SOUTH, with the players from the Culpeper Cavaliers falling into the South Division like they did in this summer’s ALL-STAR game. So, without further ado, we shall dive right into it.
