MLBY founder, Jason A. Bottenfield, was attending an MLBPAA alumni meeting one evening in 2005 at the Ballpark in Arlington and realized that young athletes in the North Texas area could benefit from the resources and breadth of knowledge within the local chapters 250 members.

After going to the president of the local alumni that night, Jason decided to take on what now brings in over 200 plus young athletes a free baseball clinic in the North Texas, the "Legends For Youth" clinic. Legends for Youth is a nationally recognized event that is branded and supported by the Major League Baseball Players Alumni.

The North Texas event brings 8-10 professional baseball players (current and alumni) to one location each year for kids to come out and learn from some of the best in the game.

Autographs and posters for all athletes on the field after the event ends. Special appearances and other things will be presented at the event for the athletes.

MLB Youth was created as the official website of the North Texas "Legends For Youth event to facilitate the ever growing clinic needs. Since this event is free for young athletes in the North Texas area, it takes local and national sponsorships to continue it each year.

Age groups for the event: 9-13

Number of years in existence: 5
