Post-warSchool reformIn 1951, after the birth of the new universityAll Nippon University Baseball FederationWas inaugurated, and in 1962Kansai Roku University Baseball Federation (former Federation)(Hereafter, former Kanroku) accepted repeated merger requests from the Kinki District University Baseball Federation to which university baseball federations other than the former Kanroku belong in the Kansai region, and as a result, a qualification match with the former Kanroku at the top.

Birth of Kansai Student Baseball Federation

The process leading up to the cancellation of the qualification match.Kwansei Gakuin University and Kansai University insist on fixing by canceling the qualification match.Doshisha University, the secretary school, was against it until the end, but Ritsumeikan University agreed to rescue Ritsumeikan University, which had fallen into the Keiji League at the bottom at that time. The three schools were united, and due to the efforts of Kansai University, although there was a great deal of doubt about the movement of Kansai University, Kinki University, which had a great say and was the strongest in Kansai at that time, also joined the new league. The conditions for consenting to participate were shown and I had to tune in, and finally I agreed, and finally Doshisha University had to tune in with these series of movements, so I was in line with Kansai University.Kyoto Sangyo University and Osaka University of Commerce have remained as they are, and the names of Kansai3 Baseball League have been taken over.
