La Mesa National’s home fields are at Kuhlken, below the La Mesa Community Center, and Lemon Avenue. A lucky few of the away games are being played at Mt. Helix’s own “Field of Dreams”, Mosher Field.

League President Kevin Hovey noted that Little League is as much about building good citizens and sportsmanship as it is about increasing skills. During a recent minors game, that sportsmanship was on display when several players were hit by pitches, and handshakes rather than hostility followed.
