Top Baseball Towns in Kennebec County, ME
Ranked on championships won since 2000 — high school state titles and Little League district, section and state titles counted together, with recent wins weighted more heavily. 7 towns have won something.
Monmouth leads Kennebec County, ME, scoring 9.06 almost entirely on high school titles, though Augusta is close behind on 6.56. 7 towns have won something since 2000.
The top 7 in Kennebec County, ME are Monmouth, Augusta, Farmingdale, Waterville, Readfield, Oakland and Gardiner.
Size is doing a lot of work here. Readfield is in the top ten on a population of 2,709, while Augusta has 19,168 to draw on — roughly 7 times as many people. That is why the tables below are also split into population bands: a town should be measured against places its own size before it is measured against a city.
Augusta is in the top ten on youth baseball alone: 9 Little League titles and no high school championship since 2000.
Recency matters in this table — a title's weight halves every 12 years, so the standings drift on their own every season. Monmouth and Augusta have won something in the last two seasons, which is why they sit where they do.
One caveat worth reading before you argue with the order. The youth half of this score is Little League only, because Little League is the only organization that publishes a championship archive — every district, section and state champion back to the 1950s. Cal Ripken and Babe Ruth publish nothing below the World Series. 1 town in Kennebec County, ME runs Cal Ripken or Babe Ruth ball with no Little League program at all, and it scores zero youth points here no matter how much it wins. Towns that run both lose the Cal Ripken half the same way. If your league has a record we're missing, tell us and we'll add it.
