SENIORS division

Babe Ruth Baseball was created for ballplayers ages 13-15 who wish to continue their baseball playing experience beyond the age of 12. This is where players get their baseball cleats muddy for the first time on standard 90′ diamonds under Official Baseball Rules used by Major League Baseball. Pioneer teams will play against each other, in addition to other 90′ programs from neighboring Babe Ruth organizations.
