INTRODUCING
THE RAWLINGS PERFORMANCE RATING
™
SYSTEM FOR BATTING HELMETS
THE OFFICIAL BATTING HELMET
OF MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL ®
THE EXCLUSIVE BATTING HELMET
OF MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL ®
The Rawlings Performance Rating™ System is based on pitch speeds at a distance of 60 ft.
The NOCSAE® standard is aimed at reducing the risk of skull fractures. The standard has not been correlated with reducing the risk of concussions from such impacts.
NOCSAE® standards require that a batting helmet withstand all test impacts at an established peak severity index (SI). Helmets also must survive all test protocols substantially intact and ready
for use. NOCSAE® baseball batting helmet standards involve tests of baseballs fired from a cannon at 60 mph at a distance of 2 ft, which is roughly equivalent to an impact resulting from a pitch
speed of 68 mph at a distance of 60 ft. RAWLINGS.COM • facebook.com/rawlings • ©Rawlings Sporting Goods Company, Inc., a subsidiary of Jarden Corporation (NYSE: JAH) • Major League

HOST FAMILY PROGRAM
When Babe Ruth League, Inc. instituted the Host Family
Program in 1961, they took youth sports to a higher dimension.
The experience gained in Babe Ruth League tournament
competition was elevated above hits, runs and errors.
Although the best won and loss record continues to be
the coveted prize, the longest lasting memories are those
emphasized by the Host Family experience.
Host Families adopt the players for the duration of the
tournament providing meals, lodging, transportation, entertainment, cheerleading and tons of tender loving care.
Thousands of friendships have been developed from this
social and cultural exchange that will continue to flourish
for a lifetime.
The Host Family Program has been responsible for turning
a Babe Ruth tournament into a “Babe Ruth Happening”
involving the entire community.
BABE RUTH LEAGUE
NATIONAL UMPIRES ASSOCIATION
The Babe Ruth League National Umpires Association was formed
to assist local baseball and softball leagues in improving the quality of
umpiring. The umpiring crews for each district, state, provincial, territorial
and regional tournament as well as each Babe Ruth World Series are
selected from the Association. The initial 200 member organization
founded in 1982 has grown to over 7,025 during the last decade.

PEOPLE ARE TALKING . . .
“For over 60 years, Babe Ruth
Baseball has been committed to
developing new generations
of baseball players and fans.
Major League Baseball would
like to thank all of the players,
coaches and volunteers who,
through their dedication and
hard work, have made Babe
Ruth Baseball such a great
success.”
Allan H. (Bud) Selig
Commissioner of Baseball
“Babe Ruth League is extremely
grateful for the support Major
League Baseball provides for all
the young baseball and softball
players of our country. I would
also like to thank all the great
volunteers in the Babe Ruth
program. It is through their dedicated service to youth that Babe
Ruth League is so successful.”
STEVEN TELLEFSEN
President/CEO
Babe Ruth League, Inc.
“It’s our goal that each youngster who plays in the Cal Ripken
Baseball Division will not only
learn the basics of the game,
but will also experience the
same level of excitement I felt
every day when I put on my uniform and got ready to play.
There’s nothing else like it!”
CAL RIPKEN, JR.
In Michael Jordan’s Words . . .
“Even now, when people talk about my greatest thrill being the
shot against Georgetown to win the NCAA title, I still think to
myself that my greatest accomplishment really is the Most
Valuable Player Award I got when my Babe Ruth League team
won the state baseball championship.”
THE JORDAN RULES

ABOUT BABE RUTH BASEBALL AND
CAL RIPKEN BASEBALL,
A Division of Babe Ruth League, Inc.
CAL RIPKEN DIVISION
(4-12)
In April of 1987, Cal Ripken, Sr., Cal Ripken, Jr. and Bill Ripken
took the field together – not as father and sons, but as manager
and players. This was the culmination of a lifelong journey that
took the Ripken family from the youth leagues to the major
leagues. From the very beginning, it was evident that Cal, Jr. and
Bill would follow in their father’s footsteps, always listening and
learning while Cal, Sr. talked about the finer points of the game.
Cal Ripken, Sr. was a father figure and mentor not only to his
own sons, but to a multitude of players and coaches.
As a player, coach, and manager in the Baltimore Orioles organization
for over 37 years, he will be forever recognized with developing and
teaching the fundamentals of playing the game of baseball the right
way – “The Ripken Way.”
Cal Ripken, Sr. passed on his ideals and passion to his sons:
“The Ripken Way”. The approach combines developing and
strengthening the fundamental skills of baseball and athletic
conditioning with the equally important virtues of work ethic,
practice and an understanding and love for the game. Cal
Ripken, Jr. and Babe Ruth League have always shared a
common vision: To provide every youngster the opportunity to
play baseball and have fun. Teaching them to play the game
“The Ripken Way” will assure accomplishment of this goal. In
2000, Babe Ruth League, Inc. and Cal Ripken, Jr. came together
to introduce Cal Ripken Baseball, A Division of Babe Ruth League,
Inc. for baseball players 4 through 12 years of age.
ROOKIE LEAGUE
Dr. Bobby Brown, former President of the American League,
with the help of Babe Ruth Baseball, established “Rookie
Leagues” throughout the nation in hope of getting more
youngsters playing baseball.
Rookie League is designed for players seven through nine
years old. A pitching machine is used to speed the games along
using softer baseballs to help reduce the fear factor. There is a
fourth outfielder and a fifth infielder and all twelve players on the
roster are placed in the batting order. The games are six innings
in length and are played on a standard youth field on sixty foot
base lengths. The pitching machine is placed forty-six feet from
home plate.
The program became part of the Cal Ripken Division in 1987
and has enjoyed steady growth with more than 9,335 teams
now chartered.
The program gets high praise from coaches, players, parents
and league officials. Accolades of “fantastic”, “it’s great fun”, “my
kids enjoy it”, “players learn quicker”, “very few players quit” are
heard around the ball fields of the Rookie League.
For further Rookie League information, contact Babe Ruth
International Headquarters.
13-YEAR-OLD PREP LEAGUE
In an effort to encourage more participation in the game of baseball,
the International Board of Babe Ruth League, Inc. approved at the
beginning of the 1976 season the use of the Babe Ruth Baseball
13-Year-Old Prep League.
Under the Prep League rules, the team rosters must be composed
of all 13-year-old players and shall consist of no fewer than 12 players and no more than 15 players. In order for the Prep League to be
accepted by Headquarters, the local parent program must be a
chartered Babe Ruth Baseball 13-15 League.
8
Studies have shown that many young players lose interest in
the game of baseball because of not getting a chance to play in
games once selected for an organized team. In addition, it has
been found that players have expressed fear in competing with
14-and 15-year-old players who have already experienced one to
two years playing on the standard 90-foot diamond.
With the Babe Ruth Baseball Prep League, the 13-year-old
player now has that chance to play with his peers, thus avoiding
the possibility of his losing interest in playing baseball. Babe Ruth
Baseball also features a 13-Year-Old World Series.
13-15 DIVISION
Babe Ruth League, the group for 13-14-15 year old players,
was founded in 1951.
Each local league chartered is an organization with authority to
administer its own program within the framework of the Rules and
Regulations and guidance of Babe Ruth League, Inc. officials.
Each state, province or territory in the 13-15 division is operated
by an elected State Commissioner, and in most states, there are
District Commissioners who assist the State Commissioner with his
many duties. (Some states, with approval from Headquarters, also
receive the assistance of Area Commissioners).
In turn, the states are grouped into eight regions with a Regional
Commissioner to oversee the Regional operation. These Regional
Commissioners also serve as members of the International Board
of Directors of Babe Ruth League, Inc.
Teams from each league are eligible to enter tournament
competition and move along the tournament trail to the championship
tournament – the World Series.
16-YEAR-OLD PREP LEAGUE
Babe Ruth Baseball in its efforts to continue to provide an ongoing learning process for its players, enters the nineteenth year of a
Prep Program for sixteen-year-olds.
Under the league rules, the team rosters must be comprised
of all 16-year-old players and shall consist of no fewer than 12
players and no more than 18 players. In order for the Prep League
to be franchised, the local parent program must be a chartered
16-18 Babe Ruth League. The sixteen-year-old prep leagues’
primary objectives are to keep the players involved in organized
baseball and continue to learn and improve their baseball skills.
Without a sixteen-year-old Prep Program, most sixteen-year-olds
receive very little game experience and eventually lose interest in
baseball.
The 16-year-old division should open opportunities for leagues
to add teams to their existing programs and more players to
compete in tournament play.
16-18 DIVISION
16-18 Babe Ruth Baseball was born in 1966 and has increased
steadily since its inception. The 16-18 division is designed to provide
organized regulation baseball competition for 16, 17, and 18-yearold players as a development plateau where they can continue to
learn and practice those principles which will help carry them through
to a satisfactory and productive adulthood.
The 16-18 division was organized because Babe Ruth League,
Inc. was aware its job was far from completed by providing for
13, 14, and 15-year-old players. No organization was making
available similar opportunities for young players once they had
surpassed the 13-15 Babe Ruth Baseball age. The 16-18 division
was designed to fill a void much the same as the Babe Ruth 13-15
division had filled a similar gap when it became a reality in 1951.
In the 16-18 division, which is played under regulation baseball
rules, can be found the opportunity to practice the ideals of
sportsmanship, fair play, high morality and democratic spirit which
the participant has learned at the 13-15 Babe Ruth level. The main
objective of the 16-18 division is to provide a community-level
9
program which eventually gives the players an opportunity to
participate in the 16-18 World Series.
The 16-18 division has rapidly gained much attention and respect
from college baseball coaches and major league scouts as an
outstanding feeder program for future collegiate and professional
baseball players.
Bambino Buddy-Ball
Babe Ruth League believes that every child should have the
opportunity to participate in baseball or softball. The Bambino
Buddy-Ball League helps to make that dream a reality for physically
and/or mentally challenged ballplayers.
With the help of a special “buddy” to swing a bat, round the bases
or catch the ball, ballplayers are able to experience the thrills of
the game.
The Bambino Buddy-Ball League is designed to foster confidence
and self-esteem, make memories and have fun. An emotionally
rewarding experience for all, “buddies” achieve satisfaction from
their involvement while athletes benefit from the opportunity to
participate in organized sports, physical fitness, and social events
and outings.
Babe Ruth League, Inc. Alumni Association
The Babe Ruth League, Inc. Alumni Association was established
in 2011 to bring together past and current members to promote
Babe Ruth League, Inc. and its youth programs through an inclusive,
self sustaining organization focused on fulfilling the goals of Babe
Ruth League, Inc. consistent with their Mission Statement.
With the help of the Alumni Association, Babe Ruth League,
Inc. can prepare today’s youth to meet the challenges of adolescence and adulthood, as well as educate and inspire, through
positive role models, a player’s drive for personal excellence and
achievement.
WORLD SERIES EDUCATIONAL SITES
In 1986, Babe Ruth League, Inc. established its first World
Series educational site.
Educational sites were created to assist prospective communities
in the major undertaking that involves the hosting of a Babe Ruth
Baseball World Series.
In selecting sites for the 10-Year-Old, Cal Ripken, 13-Year-Old,
14-Year-Old, 13-15, and 16-18 World Series along with the 12U
and 16U Softball World Series – Babe Ruth’s Board of Directors
and Executive Headquarters staff set requirements which interested communities must meet. After a community makes a formal
request for a World Series and attends a World Series educational
session, an inspection team from Babe Ruth League, Inc. visits
the community, evaluates all areas connected with the Series and
makes a recommendation to the International Board of Directors,
which then awards the World Series.
The basic requirements which must be met by the host
community include local enthusiasm, competent and well staffed
committees, a Host Family Plan (housing of players in private
homes), a lighted regulation field and a willingness to follow
the World Series plan detailed in the Official Babe Ruth World
Series Guide Book. In addition, the host community must meet
certain financial arrangements.

Cal Ripken, Jr.
2007 National Baseball Hall of Fame Inductee
Cal played the game the way it was meant to be played – every day.
He played a record 2,632 consecutive games, earning the nickname Iron
Man. For this reason, fans and major leaguers from around the country
admire and respect him. Cal, Jr. is one of just eight players in a history to
amass more than 400 home runs and 3,000 hits. Selected to baseball’s
All-Century team, this two-time Gold Glove winner and 8-time Silver
Slugger Award Winner, was a terrific all-around player. Twice the American
League’s Most Valuable Player, he and his fellow Oriole teammates made
their hometown of Baltimore proud when they clinched the title of 1983
World Series Champions.
To top off a career that others can only dream about, on January 9,
2007, Ripken received the highest honor of recognition – election into the
National Baseball Hall of Fame.

BABE RUTH SOFTBALL
Babe Ruth League, Inc. is a non-profit, educational organization
dedicated to serving all youth, both boys and girls. Since its inception
in 1984, Babe Ruth Softball has shown tremendous growth. It has
become a premier softball program throughout the United States
and Canada.
Babe Ruth Softball is designed for girls ages four through
eighteen. Age divisions offered are 12U, 16U, and 18U. Leagues
are encouraged to organize optional 10U teams within the 12U
division, and 14U teams within the 16U division, but are not required
to do so.
The primary emphasis of Babe Ruth Softball is on the local league
season: education, skill development, participation for players at all
levels of athletic ability, and to ensure the participants have FUN.
Babe Ruth Softball’s structural hierarchy evolves from the very
heart of the program: the local league. Local leagues are organized
into districts. Districts report to the State level. States are grouped
into eight regions. Volunteer District, State, and Regional Softball
Commissioners provide guidance and direction for the areas under
their jurisdiction.
Leagues chartered with Babe Ruth Softball operate with simplicity,
democracy, and much autonomy within the framework of Babe Ruth
League, Inc. rules and regulations. Leagues are formed within
defined and registered geographical boundaries. Dual-participation
may be allowed at the local league’s discretion. Babe Ruth League,
Inc. places no undue restrictions on the local league, a fact that
sets it far apart from all other programs.
A highlight of Babe Ruth Softball is its annual tournament trail.
Tournament teams from each local league are eligible to participate
in District competition with winners advancing to the State and
Regional levels. In 1999, Babe Ruth Softball debuted its first 12U
World Series and 16U World Series. Eight regional champions
from across the United States and Canada compete in each World
Series.
The World Series format begins with pool play competition,
followed by a double elimination bracket to determine the World
Series Champion.

10-YEAR-OLD WORLD SERIES
Winchester, Virginia
Nestled at the northern end of the Shenandoah Valley, the City
of Winchester, Virginia, is often referred to as “the Top of Virginia.”
Comprising a mere 9.3 square miles, the City of Winchester has a
population that swells from approximately 27,000 at night to 70,000
in the daytime. The Winchester-Frederick County area is home to
nationally-recognized tourist attractions, such as the Museum of the
Shenandoah Valley, Patsy Cline Historic House, Shenandoah Valley
Discovery Museum, Belle Grove Plantation, and the Shenandoah
Summer Music Theatre. Other nearby destinations include:
Skyline Drive and the Shenandoah National Park (22 miles)
Harper’s Ferry National Park (31 miles)
Antietam National Battlefield (39 miles)
VA’s Shenandoah Caverns and American Celebration
on Parade (40 miles)
Luray Caverns (51 miles)
Manassas Park Battlefield (55 miles)
Udvar-Hazy National Air & Space Museum (56 miles)
Washington, D.C. (72 miles)
Winchester boasts a small town feel and maintains a beautiful
pedestrian mall in the heart of downtown complete with a unique,
eclectic mix of locally-owned gift shops, clothing stores, sidewalk
cafes, art galleries and museums all housed in beautiful buildings dating back to the 1800s. Since Old Town Winchester is in
the heart of a 45-square block of buildings on the National Historic
District, visitors and residents alike can enjoy amazing architecture

Mall, Apple Blossom Corners, and Creekside Station. All of these
shopping destinations offer a unique blend of outstanding national
chain and independent retailers and dining venues.
Few places in the United States are as steeped with history as
Winchester. Once a Shawnee Indian camping ground, Winchester
was founded in 1744 by Colonel James Wood and is the oldest
city in the Commonwealth west of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Four
years later, 16 year old surveyor George Washington came to
Winchester where, during the French and Indian war, he commanded the Virginia Regiment from a small log building in downtown Winchester, which still stands today, in its original location.
The site of five Civil War battles, no east coast city was more
24
intricately involved in the war, changing hands more than seventy
times in four years. At alternate times, both Confederate General
“Stonewall” Jackson and Union General Philip Sheridan were
headquartered in buildings still standing less than two blocks
apart. Visit www.oldtownwinchesterva.com or
www.visitwinchesterva.com for more exciting details.
Winchester also has all the modern amenities and recreation
facilities that make the town a delight. Enjoy the picturesque Jim
Barnett Park, the site of the 2014 Cal Ripken 10-Year-Old World

more), walking/jogging trails, a disc golf course, regular and accessible playgrounds, a BMX track, picnic shelters, putt-putt golf, a dog
park and many ball fields.

2014 CAL RIPKEN MAJOR/70
ABERDEEN, MARYLAND
In August, 2014 Aberdeen, Maryland has the honor of
hosting the fifteenth annual Cal Ripken World Series. This
will be the seventh year that this prestigious event will take
place at Cal Sr.’s Yard – the permanent home of the Cal
Ripken World Series. Owned and operated by the Cal
Ripken Sr. Foundation through corporate and individual
donations, Cal Sr.’s Yard will ultimately be the finest youth
baseball facility in the country. In addition to hosting the
annual tournament, the field will play host to countless
youth groups, with the emphasis on serving young people
from disadvantaged circumstances.
Cal Sr.’s Yard officially opened for the 2005 Cal Ripken
World Series. The stadium’s superstructure is currently in
place which includes over 600 permanent seats, lights, a
press box and concourse area with concessions and restrooms. When finished, the stadium will be a youth replica
of Oriole Park at Camden Yards. In 2006, the famous warehouse building was constructed beyond the right field wall
and serves as a double Marriott hotel property.
This stadium and its features are part of the Ripken
Baseball Complex, a state of the art baseball facility
located just off Interstate-95 between Baltimore and
Wilmington, DE. A “baseball destination” is taking shape
on approximately 110 acres that currently include Ripken
Stadium (home of the Single-A Aberdeen IronBirds, an
Orioles affiliate), numerous youth baseball and softball
fields, batting cages and a one-of-a-kind training infield.
The World Series will also feature games on some of the
other youth fields – modeled after Memorial Stadium,
Fenway Park and Wrigley Field.
The 2014 Cal Ripken World Series will feature 10 teams
from across the United States and eight international teams.
In 2013, the team representing Japan, won the World
Series, defeating the team from Raleigh, North Carolina, in
an exciting game that was televised nationally on the CBS
Sports Network. Brothers Cal Ripken, Jr. and Bill Ripken
will be in the broadcast booth to call all of the action for this
year’s championship game.

Longview-KELSO, Washington
The communities of Longview and Kelso are proud to
present the 2014 13-15 World Series, the sixth Babe Ruth
national event to come to southwest Washington.
Longview-Kelso is located 120 miles south of Seattle
and 40 miles north of Portland, Oregon. The area is best
known for the close proximity to Mount St. Helens, which
erupted back in 1980. The volcano’s eruption caused
massive devastation, but its recovery has been a wonder
of nature. The volcano is a major tourist attraction in the
area.
Longview is known as the planned city that was built by
Kansas City timber baron Robert A. Long back in 1926. The
city of 35,000 people features Lake Sacajawea, a beautiful
man-made lake, right in the heart of the city.
Formed in 1889, Kelso is the oldest town in the Cowlitz
County. The cities Scottish theme features traditions and
events centered around the Highlander Festival.
Story Field on the campus of Lower Columbia College
in Longview is the host field for the World Series. The
venerable ballpark features an old-school feel with modern
features. The infield is artificial turf, but the outfield is lush
grass. The wood grandstands are from Seattle’s old Sick’s
Stadium, the home of the 1969 Seattle Pilots. The facility
also features a left field “party deck”.
Longview first hosted a Babe Ruth event in 1990, where
Jimmy Rollins was on the Oakland team that won the
Bambino World Series. The 1997 13-15 series was hosted
by Longview, with Kelso qualifying for the event. Together,
Longview and Kelso hosted the World Series in 2001, 2004,
and 2009.
Major Leaguers and Babe Ruth alumni from Longview
include Padres manager Bud Black and Brewers AA
skipper Rick Sweet. Former Babe Ruth players from Kelso
to make the big leagues include former Giants all-star
Jason Schmidt and Jeff Bailey who played for the Red Sox.

The Red Lion Hotel in Kelso is the World Series host
hotel. The cities of Longview and Kelso both appropriated
money to make sure the event goes off without a hitch. The
areas long history of hosting Babe Ruth district, state,
regional and World Series events makes it a popular baseball destination.
There will be no shortage of things to do when the Babe
Ruth players arrive in Longview-Kelso. Day trips to Portland or Seattle, water sports, Mt. St. Helens excursions,
and great baseball in a beautiful ballpark will make this a
special event.

WORLD SERIES
EPHRATA, WASHINGTON
Columbia Basin Youth Baseball would like to welcome you to
the city of Ephrata, home to the 2014 Babe Ruth 16-18 World Series. Ephrata (pronounced Ee-fray-tuh) is a short drive off Interstate
90, situated near the geographical center of the state of Washington, just a few hours from both Seattle and Spokane.
The site for the tournament (Aug. 7-14, 2014) is JohnsonO’Brien Stadium, located at Ephrata High School. It is considered
by many to be the finest high school baseball facility in the state
of Washington, and has been the center of much of the baseball
success in the Columbia Basin. Ephrata High School’s baseball
tradition runs deep, as shown by 71 league, district, regional and
state championships won by the Ephrata Tigers since 1970. The
JOB was also the site of the 2011 Senior Babe Ruth World Series,
and has hosted many Babe Ruth state and regional tournaments
in the last 15 years.
Ephrata is the gateway to the Columbia Basin. There is a tremendous amount of fun and exciting activities going on at all times
in the Basin area, and Ephrata offers many of those activities right
here, such as the Sage ‘n Sun Festival in June, Basin Summer
Sounds music festival in July, and Miracle on Main Street holiday
celebration in December.
Located in Ephrata, a walk through the past can be found at
the Grant County Historical Museum and Village. Situated on 3.75
acres, the museum has a complex of buildings, historic settings,
colorful displays and objects that will fascinate even the youngest
in your family. The museum provides you with the opportunity to
actually enter the buildings and experience what the pioneer life
of a bygone era was all about. Also, see the Village come to life at
the annual Living Museum weekend during the first part of June.
Ephrata is also a short drive from many of the main attractions
of the Columbia Basin, including:
• The Gorge Amphitheatre is a 20,000-seat concert venue
located above the Columbia River gorge in George, Wash
ington. Administered by LiveNation, it is considered one of
the premier and most scenic concert locations in North
America and the world. The venue offers sweeping and
majestic views of the Columbia River, and over the years
has featured a wide-range of top acts from the world of
music, including Pearl Jam, the Dave Matthews Band, Van
Halen, Rush, The Who, Aerosmith, Metallica, John Mayer,
The Police, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, The Allman
Brothers Band, Pink Floyd and Steely Dan, and Tool. It is
home of the annual Sasquatch! Music Festival, the Vans
36
Warped Tour, and the west edition of the Christian music
festival Creation Festival.
• Grand Coulee Dam is truly magnificent to behold. Built
from 1933 to 1975, it is 550 feet tall, from the 500 foot wide
polished granite base, to the 30-foot wide crest which
supports a paved two lane road, and nearly 1 mile long.
During the summer months, Grand Coulee offers free Laser
Light Shows that are projected on the dam, telling the story
of how and why the Grand Coulee Dam came to be built!
This narrated story, combines colorful lasers that move
across the entire span of the dam, creating magnificent moving
images that virtually dance across the spillway.
• As the name suggests, Dry Falls no longer carries water,
but is the remnant of what was once the largest waterfall
known to have existed on earth. Viewing the 3.5 miles of
sheer cliffs that drop 400 feet, it is easy to imagine the roar
of water pouring over them. (Niagara Falls by comparison, is
one mile wide with a drop of 165 feet).
• The ancient ice flows also left Grant County and the Columbia
Basin with a legacy of lakes and rivers that offer some of the
Pacific Northwest’s top fishing and outdoor recreation oppor
tunities. From Lake Roosevelt, which runs for 130 miles
behind Grand Coulee Dam, to Banks Lake, Park Lake, Blue
Lake and Soap Lake to the south of the dam, anglers, skiers
and campers can easily find ways to enjoy the area.
• For those looking to get in a few holes, Grant County has
several golf courses close to Ephrata, including a 9-hole
municipal course at Oasis Park at the west end of town.
Wine lovers can tour some of the top producers in the
region, and from rock climbing to exploring farmers’ markets,
the list of activities in the Basin goes on and on.
On behalf of the 2011 World Series organizing committee in
Ephrata, we invite you to join us in August for not only the best of
senior-level baseball, but to see one of the most beautiful areas in
the northwest. For more information, contact Grant County Tourism
at (509) 754-2011 ext. 331, or find them online at www.tourgrantcounty.com. And welcome to Ephrata – we’re glad you’re here.

GEORGE HERMAN “BABE” RUTH . . .
AMERICA’S BASEBALL LEGEND
Born: February 6, 1895 in Baltimore, MD
Died: August 16, 1948 in New York, NY
Height: 6’2” Weight: 215 lbs.
Threw and batted lefthanded
Married Clair Merritt Hodgson, April 17, 1929
When Babe Ruth left the game of baseball, the New York Yankees retired his number 3.
He had become a legend and no one else could ever take the great Bambino’s place.
Ruth grew up in St. Mary’s Industrial School in Baltimore. Taught how to handle a needle
and thread, he was supposed to be a tailor, but Brother Gilbert suspected otherwise.
In 1914, he was signed by the Minor League Baltimore Orioles and shortly moved on to
the Boston Red Sox before settling in New York with the Yankees. In a few seasons, it
became clear that Babe Ruth was the best lefthander in the American League. But his
dazzling record as a pitcher was soon eclipsed by his spectacular slugging.
Ruth broke record after record, each time setting new ones only he could equal. During
his 22 year career, the Sultan of Swat hit 714 home runs, plus an additional 15 in World
Series competition.
Babe Ruth gave baseball dozens of new records; but more importantly, Babe gave the
game the warmth and color of his own personality. The Bambino singlehandedly launched
big-time baseball into a new era of glory.
