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.

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 7,025 during the last decade. 6 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 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 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. OFFICIAL BABE RUTH LEAGUE BASEBALLS deBeer Diamond J.P.

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. The World Series format begins with pool play competition, followed by a double elimination bracket to determine the World Series Champion.

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.

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.

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.

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 GABRH 2b 3b HR RBI Avg 1914 Balt. Prov.
