The Wilmette Waves were co-founded in 2000 by GM Don Wallace and Head Coach Mike Napoleon, both of whom still serve in those positions. The Waves have recorded 21 consecutive over .500 win percentage seasons, and have a 21 year winning percentage of .700 (550-237). In addition, over 100 Waves’ alumni have gone on to play college baseball while 7 have played professionally. For the first 11 seasons the Waves played as an 18U American Legion team, winning the IL Legion Championship in 2004. Since 2011 the Waves have been affiliated with Connie Mack baseball, winning the IL state Connie Mack title in 2013 and the Chicago Connie Mack League Championship in 2013, 2014, 2017 and 2018. In 2021 the Waves will play, as usual, both weekday League games against local teams and weekend tournaments versus out-of-area teams.
