Three Rivers Sandblasters American Legion Baseball
Welcome to the home of the Sandblasters based in Florence, Oregon. We are sponsored by American Legion Post 59 and supported by Three Rivers Casino and Toyota of Coos Bay. The home games are played at John "Jiggs" Dodson field at Siuslaw High School.
Three Rivers will not field a team for the 2016 Season. This would have been the Sandblasters 12th year as a AAA team in Zone 3.
The Three Rivers Sandblasters AAA Amercian Legion team was founded in 2005 by Coach Jim Dietz, former coach of the San Diego State Aztecs, as an avenue for ballplayers from the Mid/South Oregon Coast seeking to play baseball at the next level. It has been operated by Western Lane Baseball Association in Florence.
