Santa Susana Baseball (SSBB), located in Simi Valley, California, is the oldest organized youth sports league in Simi Valley. 

This organization has been shaping the lives of young boys and girls for more than half a century – just one year less than the Rancho Simi Recreation & Park District, and seven years longer than the City of Simi Valley. The league began in 1962 and has grown to include boys who have gone on to play at the highest levels of baseball, including Division I colleges, the highest levels of the minor leagues, and Major League Baseball including current Anaheim Angels pitcher Jered Weaver and San Francisco Giants reliever Dan Runzler.  Previous Major Leaguers who came from the fields at Houghton-Schreiber Park include Chuck Crim, Scott Radinsky, Tim Laker and Jeff Weaver.  Scott Sharts still holds baseball records at California State University, Northridge, and players such as Jonathan Meyer, Ben Orloff, Dave Milstien and Mike Hankins either played baseball at Division I universities or at the highest levels of the minor leagues – or both.  Bryan Anderson played for the St. Louis Cardinals in 2010 and spent the past season in AAA ball.  In addition the entire starting lineup of the 2008 C.I.F. Champion Simi Valley High School Baseball team got their start at Santa Susana Baseball League.

The league is affiliated with PONY Baseball, which began in the 1950s as Protect Our Nation’s Youth – so Santa Susana is about as old as its parent organization.  Since its inception, SSBB has claimed several national championships including the 1983 Pony Division World Series title.

Santa Susana Baseball offers boys and girls the opportunity to play baseball, make friends, and in general learn life lessons offered by being involved in organized youth sports.  The league is a family affair with board members, coaches, team parents and volunteers all participating in the joy of the game.
