As an initiative of the Mordecai Brown Legacy Foundation, the Diamond Brotherhood is organized to foster interest in baseball and promote baseball activities. We recognize that by creating positive life- building opportunities through baseball, we are ensuring a stable influence in the development of better players as well as better citizens for the future.

During the winter of 1912, Brown released his vision for the Mordecai Brown School of Baseball, later to be the Diamond Brotherhood. The program was designed to promote not only the art and excellence of athletics, but that of life skills also. The concept was instrumental in providing what Brown stated as, “Self-reliance, independence, ability to think, to judge between right and wrong, to act promptly upon a decision. These benefits are apparent not only on the baseball diamond, but in the business world, in the school room, as well as in the social world and home.”

The Diamond Brotherhood stands as a model for community engagement, generating financial and voluntary contributions as well as activity resources, to make lasting improvements in the world of sports. By selecting strategic sporting, athletic and educational resources, the Diamond Brotherhood emphasizes the mental, physical, and technical aspects of each sport, while focusing on developing the individual into an integral member of society and an effective leader in their own community.
