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 6,925 during the last decade.

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.”

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.

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.
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.

2012 12U SOFTBALL
WORLD SERIES
ALACHUA-HIGH SPRINGS, FLORIDA
Located in the heart of Florida, the cities of Alachua and
High Springs are prepared to host the state’s first ever Girls
Softball Babe Ruth World Series. The two communities previously hosted the 1992 11-12 Boys Baseball Babe Ruth
Bambino World Series. 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.

2012 CAL RIPKEN BASEBALL
10-YEAR-OLD WORLD SERIES
BENTONVILLE, ARKANSAS
The City of Bentonville extends a warm welcome to all
visitors for the 2012 10-Year-Old Cal Ripken World
Series. 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. We look forward to your visit to Bentenville!

2012 CAL RIPKEN MAJOR/60
12-YEAR-OLD WORLD SERIES
WINCHESTER, MASSACHUSETTS
Winchester is a beautiful and historic town located in
Middlesex County, Massachusetts, less than 10 miles from
Boston. 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). In addition, Winchester is one of the
homes to the scenic Middlesex Fells Reservation, a 2,060
acre public park that includes trails for hiking and biking.
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.
The Marriott Hotel in nearby Burlington, MA will provide
rooms during the world series. 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!

2012 CAL RIPKEN MAJOR/70
12-YEAR-OLD WORLD SERIES
ABERDEEN, MARYLAND
In August, 2012 Aberdeen, Maryland has the honor of
hosting the thirteenth 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 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.

Historic Van Buren, Arkansas, the gem of the
Arkansas River Valley, offers visitors a wealth of attractions and unique shopping opportunities, a glimpse of history, and convenient dining and lodging options.
Baseball lovers will appreciate the $1.5 million “Field of
Dreams” Sports Complex located on 68 acres and surrounded on three sides by water. Owned by the city of
Van Buren, the Field of Dreams with its nine baseball
fields and one football field was begun in 1993 and completed in 2002, thanks to dedicated community volunteers
and civic leaders. History buffs and bargain hunters can
stroll back in time on beautifully restored Main Street lined
with antique shops, restaurants, and unique arts and
crafts and other boutique offerings. Victorian Main Street
has become a shopping mecca for hard to find collectibles
and exquisite furniture.
Sample the rich history of the River Valley with stops at
the River Valley Museum of Van Buren, the Doll Museum,
the King Opera House, and in Fort Smith at the National
Historic Site, Belle Grove Historic District, The Trolley
Museum and the Fort Smith Museum of History.
Love the outdoors? Van Buren is a charming hub from
which to explore magnificent views of the Ozark
Mountains, Lake Fort Smith and Lake Shepherd Springs.
Take an excursion by train into the mountains or choose
from many hiking and biking trails for a more personal
outdoor experience. The River Walk, for instance, takes
visitors to Phillips Landing where Civil War soldiers,
steamboat crews and passengers, and travelers on the
Trail of Tears left footprints in history. Put yourself in our
place – beautiful, historic and exciting Van Buren,
Arkansas.

WORLD SERIES
WEIMER, TEXAS
With a population of 2051, Weimar has the distinction
of the smallest community to ever host any Babe Ruth
World Series. 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!

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.
