It is our fundamental belief that every child with a desire to play baseball or softball be afforded that opportunity. 5 BABE RUTH LEAGUE, INC. ADVISORY BOARD Babe Ruth League, Inc. has formed an Advisory Board whose purpose is to provide assistance and guidance to Babe Ruth Headquarters on specific projects and/or research. Individuals serving on the Advisory Board must be interested in developing better citizenship as well as physical and emotional maturity of youngsters through youth baseball and softball.

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 6,925 during the last decade. 6 PEOPLE ARE TALKING . . . “For over 50 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 by Sam Smith 7 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 seventeenth 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.

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.

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. World Series play commences on a Saturday with four days of pool play competition. The participating teams are divided into two brackets for pool play. Each team is guaranteed four games. The first, second, and third place teams from each division in the pool play will advance to double-elimination competition which begins on the following Wednesday. The championship game is played on Saturday. Babe Ruth League, Inc. provides transportation to the World Series for all participants and coaches, at no cost to the participating teams. There is no entry fee for the official Babe Ruth Softball tournament trail. Babe Ruth Softball intends for every child that has a desire to participate in the sport to be able to do so. Babe Ruth Softball is the fastest growing division in Babe Ruth League, Inc.

Once again, these cities have teamed up with Babe Ruth to put together another signature event for the area. Situated just minutes north of Gainesville, Alachua and High Springs are located just 90 minutes from Jacksonville and Orlando, and just two hours from Tallahassee and Tampa. The gulf coast is less than an hour away and St. Augustine on the eastern coastline is just a 90 minute trip, which is home to some of the world’s most famous beaches. St. Augustine offers visitors the opportunity to visit the oldest city in the United States and many other historic sites. Alachua’s and High Springs’ central location to some of the state’s well-populated regions provides for a cross section of commerce and travel with the serene landscapes of the area’s springs and river systems. Alachua has a population of 9,500 and High Springs has a population of 5,000. Both cities offer unique experiences for visitors. Alachua, which is home to the Largest Small-Town Fireworks Display in America every Fourth of July, has recreational opportunities to suit all sports enthusiasts. In addition to multiple ball fields, an 18-hole golf course, basketball courts, tennis courts and parks, Alachua is home to the San Felasco Hammock Preserve State Park. The Park encompasses over 7,000 acres where visitors will find winding bicycle and horse trails. High Springs is home to some of the most pristine springs in the world. These springs feature crystal clear fresh water that provide visitors with the opportunity to cool off in the warm summer months. High Springs is also home to multiple sports fields, courts and a BMX track. Both the city of Alachua and High Springs are proud to be located in Alachua County, home of the University of Florida and some of the country’s most cutting-edge research and technology. Alachua and High Springs are the leaders in youth recreation in North Central Florida and proudly welcome the Babe Ruth World Series once again. 20 LOCAL MEDIA INFORMATION ALACHUA-HIGH SPRINGS, FLORIDA WORLD SERIES DATES: AUGUST 4-8, 2012 HOST PRESIDENT: JASON RAULERSON (352) 672-7203 (OFFICE) (352) 258-8923 (CELL) STADIUM: Hal Brady Recreation Complex World Series Field 14300 NW 146th Ter.

We are home to one of the fastest growing communities in the United States as well as the headquarters of the world’s largest corporation, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. This will be the community’s second World Series, having hosted the 16-Year-Old Division in 2007. In 1951, Sam Walton established a variety store in downtown Bentonville which he would open as a Ben Franklin franchise and was called ‘Walton’s Five and Dime.’ The location and interior of that variety store has been carefully preserved as to reflect its humble beginnings and is now known as the Wal-Mart Visitor’s Center. “Mr. Sam” was honored one month before his death in April 1992 for all his pioneering efforts in the retail industry by receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President George H.W. Bush. In 1998, he was included in Time Magazine’s list of 100 most influential people of the 20th Century. He left his ownership in Wal-Mart to his wife and four children, and they would hold five spots in the top 10 richest people in the United States until 2005. In November 2011, the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art opened and is home to one of the preeminent art collections in the world. The 201,000 square foot museum is housed in eight separate buildings and sits on 120 acres of land that was formerly owned by the Walton family. Admission is free and is funded by a $20 million grant from Walmart that was announced shortly prior to the museum’s opening. More than 3.5 miles of trails wind through the streams, ponds, wetlands, native plants and sculptures around the grounds of the museum. Memorial Park will play host to the World Series. It is Bentonville’s premier community park with 73 acres. The park is the primary home for the Bentonville Cal Ripken League and the Bentonville Youth Softball League. The park also contains facilities for soccer, basketball, tennis and a skateboard park. The Melvin Ford Aquatic Center is the centerpiece of the park with an Olympic size pool, a 24 separate four-board diving pool and a wading pool featuring a rain drop fountain. The city boosts of numerous recreational outlets including 17 public parks, 19 baseball and softball fields, six soccer fields and a recreation center with two basketball courts and a weight room. There are also numerous trails and pathways within the city for biking and running. Golfing and fishing are also abundant activities within the community as numerous golf courses and Beaver Lake are all just minutes away from country kitchens to gourmet bistros offering a wide array of lunch or dinner possibilities. Whether your interest is recreation, dining, shopping or just exploring the natural beauty of the city and Northwest Arkansas, you’ll find plenty of things to do before or after games. For additional information, call the Bentonville Advertising & Promotion Commission at (800) 410-2535 or visit their website at www.bentonvilleusa.org for more information.

While close to Boston and everything the city has to offer, Winchester is a classic New England town that features tree-lined streets, a vibrant town center, a farmer’s market on the common, a great library and 10 churches and other houses of worship (most are located on Church Street, of course).

Of course, Winchester is also home to Robert J. Nutile Field, where the 2009 Cal Ripken World Series was held, and where the 2012 Cal Ripken 12/60 World Series will be played. Winchester is proud of Nutile Field and we are thrilled to be hosting an exciting week of events for the baseball players and families who will visit us in August 2012.

During the World Series in 2009 there was more than one evening of competitive karaoke featurng parents from competing teams! Originally settled in the 1630s, Winchester now boasts a population of approximately 20,000 and provides a wonderful springboard for visitors to explore the rich history, scenic beauty, and fascinating sights and sounds of New England. The two closest train stations in the world are in Winchester and are slightly less than a mile apart. From either, you can travel to Boston in less than 20 minutes. Once you arrive in Boston, you can hop on an MBTA trolley and visit almost anywhere in the Boston area! Things to see and do in Boston! Walk the Freedom Trail, ride the Swan Boats in the Public Garden, explore the Old North Church, or take in the Feast of the Madonna in the historic Italian North End. You can also visit our fantastic museums, including the Children’s Museum, the Science Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, the New England Aquarium, or the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library. For dining or entertainment, Boston has a vibrant theatre district where you can see 26 the Blue Man Group or enjoy a fine meal. Perhaps you’d like to stop by Cheers for a beverage or shop at Quincy Market. You can also check out the music shows at the Bank of America Pavilion. If you just can’t get enough baseball, you might try to visit Fenway Park for a tour or a Red Sox game. If you want to get away from the city, you can climb aboard the U.S.S. Constitution, you can tour Revolutionary War museums and battle sites like the Battle Green and North Bridge in our neighboring towns of Lexington and Concord, you can go to Crane’s Beach, visit Gloucester or Rockport, relive the rich and haunting history of witchcraft in Salem, rock out at a concert in the Comcast Center, sample the offerings at the Nashoba Valley Winery, cruise the seas on a whale watch, ride the ferry to Provincetown on Cape Cod, or find the Civil War Watch Tower in the Fells Reservation (and marvel at the view of Boston). Caution: this list could go on forever. Honestly, aside from the outstanding baseball you will experience on Nutile Field, there is almost no end to the things you can see and do around Winchester. We are excited you are coming to visit, and coming to play ball!

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 includes 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 2012 Cal Ripken World Series will feature 10 teams from across the United States and six international teams. In 2011, the team representing Japan, won the World Series, defeating the team from Lexington, Kentucky, in an exciting game that was televised nationally on the MLB 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. 28 LOCAL MEDIA INFORMATION ABERDEEN, MARYLAND WORLD SERIES DATES: AUGUST 11-19, 2012 HOST PRESIDENT: AMY VENUTO (410) 823-0808 STADIUM: Ripken Youth Academy 873 Long Drive Aberdeen, MD 21001 Phone: (866) 200-6675 NEWSPAPER: The Baltimore Sun 501 N.

The citizens of Weimar and our neighbor communities of Texas TC League are proud to have the opportunity to host our third World Series. We look forward to providing many memorable Texas experiences for everyone. Weimar is equidistantly located in South Central Texas between the major cities of Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. Therefore, we are privileged to enjoy the benefits of both urban and rural lifestyles. On the one hand, within approximately an hour’s drive are shopping malls, sporting and entertainment venues, and tourist attractions for all ages and interests. On the other hand, Weimar offers the serenity and relaxed pace of an “everyone knows everyone else” community. Weimar and the surrounding areas have many gold courses, unique stores, seasonal hunting and fishing, and an overwhelming love of baseball. Our citizens value God, country, and family as evidenced by our numerous churches, Veterans organizations, and family activities. Weimar’s baseball history officially began in July, 1895 as Weimar hosted Columbus. Several different locations were used as playing fields as community baseball flourished in the early 20th century. The site of the 2012 World Series will be at historic Weimar Veterans Park/Strickland Field. This field was constructed in 1948 by the Weimar Veterans following World War II. It has been a focal point of baseball action for 64 years. At one time it was the only lighted field between Houston and San Antonio. Its history includes the 1950’s Herder Truckers, and NBC powerhouse, the Weimar Vets of the SCTAL, and the Texas Tomcats of the Texas collegiate League. It is currently called home by the Weimar Babe Ruth and the five time state champions Weimar Wildcats. Vets Park has served as a host for numerous high school playoff games and state and regional Babe Ruth tournaments. Whether your travel plans include visiting the Alamo, Schlitterbahn, Fiesta Texas, Sea World, or the Riverwalk 36 in San Antonio, NASA, the museum and theatre district, the Galleria, or Galveston Beach in Houston, or the State Museum and Sixth Street of Austin, or the Painted Churches and museums of our communities, don’t miss the best attraction – our people!

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. Year Club Leag G AB R H 2b 3b HR RBI Avg 1914 Balt. Prov.
