With occupation duties continuing for American armed forces in post-war Europe, competitive and intramural sports continued for the troops. With forces reduced considerably from the 1945 numbers, the size of the baseball leagues were similarly downscaled. Details of the Class “A” League are still being researched along with the roster of the 16th Infantry Regiment as well as the outcome of these games played during the weekend of May 25-26 at Dagwood Field in Landshut, Germany.
