The American Legion District 20 baseball season will open today, replete with realigned divisions and a handful of new teams.
The 27 teams are dispersed in four divisions that roughly correspond to the geographic areas of the district, which includes the Antelope, San Fernando and Santa Clarita valleys.

Woodland Hills West, the defending state champion, will open play Sunday against Woodland Hills East at El Camino Real High at noon.
District 16, which encompasses Ventura County, will begin play June 1. Teams include: Camarillo, Conejo Valley A, Conejo Valley B, Newbury Park, Oxnard, Santa Barbara, Simi Valley, Ventura and Westlake-Royal.
