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 16-18 World Series 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 7,338 during the last decade.

PEOPLE ARE TALKING . . .
“Just as baseball is the sport of
families, there is one baseball
family. We ardently believe that
the baseball family includes the
fans, coaches, administrators
and youth players of the Babe
Ruth League and at all levels in
the many communities where
our game is played and enjoyed. Major League Baseball
commends all of Babe Ruth
Baseball’s participants.”
ROB MANFRED
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 9,385 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 twenty-first 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 the girls ages 4-18. Age Divisions
that are offered are 6U, 8U,10U, 12U,14U,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. For 2015, the World Series has been expanded to the 8u,
10U and 14U age levels. Teams will either earn a berth to the series
in these age groups by being a Regional Champion or they will
be winners of a National Qualifier that is hosted by the state they
reside in.
The World Series format begins with pool play competition,
followed by a double elimination bracket to determine the World
Series Champion.

2016 SOFTBALL
WORLD SERIES
JENSEN BEACH/STUART, FLORIDA
Jensen Beach/Stuart, Florida is proud to be the host of the 2016
Babe Ruth Softball World Series for all age divisions.
The pineapple is a recurring motif around Jensen Beach. The
town’s affinity for the spiny fruit can be traced back to 1879, when
the first pineapple slips were planted by Capt. Thomas E. Richards
at his Eden homestead. John Laurence Jensen immigrated from
Denmark in 1881 and set up his pineapple plantation which eventually became the town of Jensen and Stuart. A mere 14 years later
Jensen was shipping over 1 million boxes of pineapples each year
during June and July season earning the town “Pineapple Capitol
of the World” Hard freezes, fires and financial problems contributed
to the industry’s final collapse in 1920, but the legacy of this tropical
fruit lives on in the signage, shop fronts and residences of Jensen
Beach/Stuart. This unigue history is celebrated annually during the
Jensen Beach/Stuart Pineapple Festival.

The bulk of the games at the Cal Ripken World Series

Foundation, Cal, Sr.’s Yard was designed to inspire players
of all calibers to reach for new heights while competing in a

Cal, Sr.’s Yard is the centerpiece of The Ripken Experience Aberdeen Powered by Under Armour. After bringing
his Hall of Fame career to a close, Cal Ripken, Jr. set out
to give back by helping to shape the future of the game.
To honor their father’s legacy and to continue Cal Sr.’s
tradition of empowering young people through baseball,
Cal Ripken, Jr. and Bill Ripken set out to create a youth

OTTUMWA, IOWA
In August of 2016 Ottumwa, Iowa will host the 2016

as a gateway of experiences for many first time visitors, inspiring large numbers to make plans for subsequent trips
and vacations to the area and region. Ottumwa is proud to
welcome the World Series to the community.
Since the late 1800s, various levels of baseball have

tradition of baseball. The Ottumwa Babe Ruth League

since 1952.
All of the World Series Games will be played at the Ottumwa Youth Baseball Complex in Greater Ottumwa Park.
Ottumwa is proud of its park system which consists of hundreds of acres inside the city limits.
Ottumwa... the name means place of perseverance
and land of rippling waters. Ottumwa embodies the westward expansion of the United States, plentiful game, good
fishing, and the river’s rippling waters. These qualities enticed Iowa’s most famous chiefs, Wapello, Keokuk, and
Appanoose, to settle here.
Ottumwa is a city in, and the county seat of, Wapello
County, Iowa. Located in southeastern Iowa, the city is
split into northern and southern halves by the Des Moines
River. Ottumwa is a rural area, but one that should never
be overlooked. It is charming, quaint, beautiful, and jampacked with things to do and places to go.
Ottumwa is growing and thriving. New businesses
continue to open and expand, preserving Ottumwa’s place
as a regional economic center, with very active civic arts
groups as well as sports and leisure activities.

WESTFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS
Westfield Babe Ruth is proud to be the host for the 2016
14-Year-Old Babe Ruth World Series!
Westfield is a city located in the Pioneer Valley of
Western Massachusetts. Westfield was first settled in
1660. The Pioneer Valley is within three of Massachusetts’
counties that collectively feature much of New England’s
most fertile farmland.
Travelers are drawn to the Pioneer Valley by its unspoiled
nature, numerous parks and recreational facilities, including New England’s largest and most popular amusement
park, Six Flags New England in Agawam and the Naismith
Basketball Hall of Fame on Springfield’s riverfront. The
Pioneer Valley is a popular, year-round tourist destination.
Westfield is located a short 1.5 hour drive from Boston,
2.5 hours from New York City and only 2 hours and 40
minutes from the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown,
NY. We hope you will take some time to enjoy the rich
history in the Pioneer Valley and throughout New England
while you are in Westfield.
Westfield is also known as “The” Baseball Town in
Western Massachusetts. The Westfield area high schools
have produced many Western Massachusetts baseball
championship teams throughout the last 20 years.
The World Series games will be played at Billy Bullens
Field. The stands surrounding the beautiful baseball field
were constructed in the 1940’s as a WPA (Works Progress
Administration) project. Numerous additions have been
made over the years to make Bullens Field the premier
baseball facility in Western Massachusetts.
Westfield has a long tradition of business innovation that
began in the 19th century with the manufacturing of bricks,
whips, and cigars that became important economically. At
one point in the 1800s, Westfield was a prominent center of
the buggy whip industry, and continues to be known as the
“Whip City.“
30
Westfield is also the home of Westfield State University,
a part of the Massachusetts public higher education
system. Westfield State University is dedicated to preparing
students with the knowledge, skills, and experiences they
need to succeed.
The City of Westfield values it vibrant business community
and recognizes the contribution that businesses, from small
retailers to multi-million dollar corporations, make to the
character and economic vitality of our city.

EPHRATA, WASHINGTON
Columbia Basin Youth Baseball would like to welcome you to
the city of Ephrata, home to the 2016 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 is Johnson-O’Brien Stadium, located
at Ephrata High School. It is considered by many to be one of the
finest high school baseball facilities 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 and 2014 Senior Babe Ruth World Series
tournaments, and has hosted many Babe Ruth state and regional
tournament in the last 16 years – the next two will be the Senior
Babe Ruth World Series in both 2016 and 2017.
Ephrata is the gateway to the Columbia Basin. There are 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, Washington.
Administered by LiveNation, it is considered one of the premier
and most scenic concert locations in North America and the world.
*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 one 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!

On behalf of the 2016 World Series organizing committee in
Ephrata, we invite you to join us in August for not only the best of

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.
