A nonprofit organization, the MLBPAA establishes a place where a players drive for excellence and achievement on the field can continue long after they take their last steps off the professional diamond. Headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado the MLBPAAs membership has soared to over 5,000 members and continues to climb. Membership includes approximately 2,700 are former major league players, and 870 are current players. The remainder of membership is comprised of minor league players, umpires, managers, coaches, front office personnel, media and fans. President Brooks Robinson guides the MLBPAA with Bob Boone, George Brett, Chuck Hinton, Mike Hegan, Robin Yount, Rusty Staub, Carl Erskine and Al Kaline presiding as Vice Presidents. The vast majority of former big leaguers have gravitated to the Alumni Association, including Hall of Famers, AllStars, Cy Young Award winners and Gold Glove recipients. Former players hoping to give back to the game find the Alumni Association to be a vital, constructive instrument providing a vehicle for them to be involved in charity and community causes nationwide. Alumni members understand that as one of only several thousand living major league players they belong to a select group that has the unique ability to advance and encourage the sport of baseball and the values associated with the game.
