History:
With the aim of developing the
American youth through sports, a group of men
Babe Ruth League conceptualized over 50 years
ago in a meeting held in New Jersey. The men initially
named the organization as “Little Bigger
League;” and appointed Marius D. Bonacci
as its founder.
The league was then renamed to
Babe Ruth in 1954, after Claire Ruth, Babe Ruth’s
widow agreed to have the league named after her
late husband, saying “he could receive no
greater tribute than to have a youth baseball
program named after him.”
Since then, Babe Ruth League has steadily grown into one of the premier amateur
baseball and softball programs in the world. From a league that used to have
only 10 teams based in New Jersey, Babe Ruth now has tremendously increased
to over 7,000 leagues worldwide, with over 886,500 players on some 45,200 teams.
Babe Ruth now caters to aspiring baseball players aged 13-18. Though its Cal
Ripken division, Babe Ruth also offers baseball to players aged 5-12.
The league is governed by the
Babe Ruth International Board. Local leagues,
however, maintains some form of independence
within the guidelines provided by Babe Ruth League
International Board. |
