INTRODUCINGTHE RAWLINGS PERFORMANCE RATING™

SYSTEM FOR BATTING HELMETSThe Rawlings Performance Rating™ System is based on pitch speeds at a distance of 60 ft.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.

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, enter-tainment, 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 LEAGUENATIONAL 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 7,115 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 en-joyed. Major League Baseball commends all of Babe Ruth Baseball’s participants.”

ROB MANFREDCommissioner 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 dedi-cated service to youth that Babe Ruth League is so successful.”

STEVEN TELLEFSENPresident/CEO

Babe Ruth League, Inc.

“It’s our goal that each young- ster 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 uni- form 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 RULESby Sam Smith

ABOUT BABE RUTH BASEBALL ANDCAL 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 play-ers 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.

Page 11: Media Guide - Babe Ruth League MediaGuide.pdf · of minor league baseball ... s90pa manny machado s100pc shown with: s100p shown with: s80x2s/j. 2 2015 babe ruth league media guide

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 ongo-ing learning process for its players, enters the twentieth 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-year- old 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

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 adoles- cence 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 interest- ed 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.

VERNON “LEFTY” GOMEZ AWARDVOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR

This award was established in 1991 to recognize and to pay tribute to an outstanding volunteer in the Babe Ruth Program. This award is made in honor of the late Vernon “Lefty” Gomez, a twenty-five year member of the Babe Ruth League, Inc. Board of Directors.

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.

2015 16U SOFTBALL WORLD SERIES

JENSEN BEACH, FLORIDAJensen Beach, Florida is proud to be the host of the 2015 Babe

Ruth 16U World Series. 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 eventu-ally became the town of Jensen. 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 indus-try’s final collapse in 1920, but the legacy of this tropical fruit lives on in the signage, shop fronts and residences of Jensen Beach. This unigue history is celebrated annually during the Jensen Beach Pineapple Festival.

2015 CAL RIPKEN MAJOR/6012-YEAR-OLD WORLD SERIES

MONTICELLO, ARKANSASAlthough the exact date when the first European stood on the

Monticello Ridge and looked down on the sloping valley through the primeval forest of oaks, hickories, sweet gums, elms and maples is not known, some believe it may have been LaSalle or his lieutenant, Henry do Toni. Others, however, think that Hernando de Soto and his adventurers were the first to set foot in what is now Drew County, Arkansas.

On November 26, 1846, Drew County was formally organized and chartered and named after then Arkansas governor Thomas S. Drew, the state’s third chief executive. In 1849, early settlers Foun-tain and Polly Austin deeded 83 acres to establish a new county seat. Monticello was incorporated by an act of the Arkansas legis-lature in December 1852 and named in honor of Thomas Jefferson, whose Virginia home and estate was called Monticello. By 1850, Drew County boasted a population of more than 3,000 and by 1889; the population had grown to 15,500. Today, it is more than 18,700, with nearly 10,000 in Monticello and its outskirts.

Early settlers raised sheep and the rich delta land and fertile soil on the upland hills east of the Saline River proved prime land for growing rice, soybeans, wheat and tomatoes. In fact, Monticello was once called the “Tomato Capital of the World.” Forestry has also played a vital role in the development and continued success of Drew County. In recent years, Monticello has expanded its retail industry and has experienced phenomenal growth along Highway 425, attracting shoppers from all over Southeast Arkansas.

The area offers an abundance of leisure and recreation activities, including a new sports complex west of town, a public swimming pool, public and private golf courses, trophy bass fishing and boating on Lake Monticello, and some of the finest deer and duck hunting in the world. Monticello also boasts a six-screen movie theater, a full schedule of cultural events sponsored by the SEARK Concert Association and several local venues providing live entertainment.

Monticello is home to the University of Arkansas at Monticello, a comprehensive system of postsecondary education with its main campus in Monticello and Colleges of Technology in both Cros-sett and McGehee. UAM’s academic offerings range from technical certificates to traditional baccalaureate degree programs as well as master’s degrees in forestry and teacher education. Founded in 1909, UAM enrolls approximately 3,500 students.

Jordan Park in Monticello was the host for the 2008 10 Year Old Regional.

2015 CAL RIPKEN MAJOR/7012-YEAR-OLD WORLD SERIES

ABERDEEN, MARYLANDIn 2015, the humble All-American city of Aberdeen,

Maryland will host the sixteenth annual Cal Ripken World Series. The event will mark the eighth consecutive year that the prestigious event has taken place at The Ripken Experience Aberdeen Powered by Under Armour.

The bulk of the games at the Cal Ripken World Series are played on Cal, Sr.’s Yard, the finest youth baseball stadium in the country. The ballpark is modeled after Camden Yards, complete with stadium seating, a full con-course, and a warehouse-style hotel looming over the right field wall. Owned and operated by the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation, Cal, Sr.’s Yard was designed to inspire players of all calibers to reach for new heights while competing in a Major League caliber atmosphere.

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 baseball destination in their home town. The Ripken Experience Aberdeen Powered by Under Armour now hosts thousands of teams each summer for world-class tournament events. Teams competing at The Ripken Experience Aberdeen Powered by Under Armour enjoy the thrill of competing on youth-sized replicas of famous ballparks, including Fenway, Wrigley, and Memorial Stadium.

The 2015 Cal Ripken World Series will feature 10 teams from across the United States and eight international teams. In 2014, Mexico ended Japan’s bid for a fourth con-secutive World Series Championship with an upset victory during the International Championship. Mexico then faced off against West Raleigh, North Carolina for the World Se-ries Championship. With a 5-2 victory over Mexico, West Raleigh became the first U.S. team to win the World Series since 2009 in a game that was televised nationally on the CBS Sports Network.

2015 14-YEAR-OLDWORLD SERIES

PINE BLUFF, ARKANSASTaylor Field is owned by the City of Pine Bluff and was

built in 1940 by the WPA (Works Progress Administration). This administration helped the unemployed find construction work during the New Deal era.

In the 1940s and ’50s, the field was home to the semi- professional Pine Bluff Judges and Cardinals of the Cotton States League.

Taylor Field hosted the Babe Ruth League 13-15 World Series in 1972, 1975, 1994, 1998 and 2000. And in 2003 it hosted the 13-year-old World Series.

The 1972 tournament was attended by Jerome “Dizzy” Dean, a 1953 Baseball Hall of Fame inductee, and Claire Ruth, Babe Ruth’s widow.

In 1995, then President Bill Clinton threw out the first pitch of the National Amateur All-Star Baseball Tournament (NAABT) which was televised on ESPN. For the game Clinton attended, there was 2-inch steel surrounding his box seat, and Secret Service agents with guns were on the stadium roof to protect the president.

The NAABT also brought other big names in baseball to Taylor Field such as 10-time MLB All-Star and 1974 National League MVP Steve Garvey and 1983 Baseball Hall of Famer and 16 time Gold Glove Award Winner, Brooks Robinson.

In 1996, the Pine Bluff Locomotives of the Big South League played here.

Other local ballplayers that grew up playing at Taylor Field and have had successful careers in MLB:

• HeavyhitterandninetimeGoldGloveAwardwinner Torii Hunter and

• FormerpitcherfortheTexasRangers,MikeJeffcoatToday, Taylor is the home field of the Pine Bluff High

School Zebras baseball team.Taylor Field was listed on the National Register of

Historic Places in January, 2010.

Plans are underway to even further upgrade Babe Ruth facilities in the Park thanks to the total commitment of financial support from local civic organizations, individual volunteers, local governments, the State of Tennessee’s Tourism Department and the Lawrence County High School Baseball Booster Club.

The popularity of Babe Ruth Baseball in Lawrenceburg and the intense enthusiasm growing in anticipation of hosting the 15 year old World Series remain with Players and their families. Another element of excitement for local fans is the past performance of the Lawrence-burg All Stars that will likely form the roster for the 2015 host team. In 2013, the Lawrenceburg 13-year-old All Stars won district, state and Southeast Regional Championships before posting a runner-up finish in the 13-year-old World Series in North Dakota. Part of this group’s coaching staff is Lawrence County Native David Weathers who en-joyed a 20- year Major League career as a relief pitcher, finishing in the Top 10 all-time in number of game appearances and playing on two Major League Baseball World Series teams. Prior to his Major League Career Weathers’ played senior Babe Ruth Baseball.

Lawrence County is conveniently located in Southern Middle Tennessee, just 30 minutes from Interstate 65 and within 75 miles of Interstates 40 and 24. Leisure shopping, dining, golf, theatre, music, festivals are all in Lawrence County. If you want to venture a bit further, Nashville is just over an hour north and thirty minutes to the south we have The Shoals, the birthplace of Helen Keller and W.C. Handy – and the smallmouth fishing capital of the world along the Tennessee River in Northern Alabama.

Sounds of bat against ball, nets swishing, and the soft thud of tennis balls meeting a racquet echo from the many parks through-out Lawrence County. Pioneer David Crockett settled in Lawrence County. Crockett operated a water-powered gristmill, and distillery in the area of the county that is now David Crockett State Park. In addition to his businesses, Crockett became one of Lawrenceburg’s first commissioners and justices of the peace. Crockett became one

of Tennessee’s vaunted “Volunteers”, and died in 1836 during the battle at the Alamo. David Crockett State Park, just outside the city limits of Lawrenceburg, offers recreation for the whole family. This 1100 acre park offers biking, boating, camping, swimming, cycling and hiking trails that winds throughout the park, past picnic areas, through the covered bridge past the ruins of the Crockett dam. David Crockett State Park also offers a beautiful restaurant overlooking 40 acre Lindsey Lake. Rotary Park, in Lawrenceburg, is a 28-acre rec-reational complex maintained by the city of Lawrenceburg and the Rotary Club.

Throughout the early 1900s James D. Vaughan transformed Lawrenceburg into America’s undisputed capital of Southern Gospel Music. While in Lawrenceburg visit the James D. Vaughan Museum for a glimpse at the roots of Southern Gospel Music and the man that founded this unique musical style. The James D. Vaughn Fes-tival attracts southern gospel music lovers from around the country.

In 1944 the Old Order Amish established a community in North-ern Lawrence County, farming and practicing skilled crafts. Lawrence County is blessed with a large Amish Community. While our Amish neighbors value their privacy, tours of their beautiful farm country are available. You’ll also find Amish crafts, quilts, artisan, furniture, and seasonal fruits and vegetables all year.

2015 16-18WORLD SERIES

KLAMATH F ALLS, OREGONPerched at 4,100 feet, Klamath Falls is a five-hour drive

northeast of San Francisco, Ca., and five hours south of Portland, Ore. – far enough away from the rain and fog to be dubbed “The City of Sunshine” with nearly 300 sunny days each year.

Klamath Falls is home to Kiger Stadium, one of the United States’ last-remaining 20th century all-wooden baseball stadiums. Kiger opened in 1948 for the Class D Klamath Falls Gems, the Far West League farm team of the Philadelphia Phillies. Kiger hosted the Babe Ruth World Series in 1968.

Dozens of nearby lakes and rivers offer endless miles of kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing, rowing, and white- water rafting. Enthusiasts from around the world join locals for hiking, sailing, biking, fishing and hunting. Klamath County has the state’s largest body of water, Upper Klamath Lake, as well as the United States’ deepest lake, the caldera at Crater Lake National Park.

Once named Linkville, the town was renamed Klamath Falls in 1893 inspired by a series of cascading white- water rapids on the Link River west of downtown. Since then the river and its uses have changed with the times, but the beautiful rapids continue to rush along the richly scenic Link River Trail. This one-and-a-half mile trail between Upper Klamath Lake and Klamath River is a favorite spot for hikers, trail-runners, and birdwatchers trying to spot pelicans, herons, egrets, pheasants and bald eagles.

A stroll downtown leads to museums, antique stores, art exhibits, locally owned restaurants, and the town’s trea-sured performing arts theater. Summer Saturdays feature a charming outdoor market full of locally grown produce and artisan crafts.

Oregon Institute of Technology is another shining star in Klamath Falls. The area’s unique volcanic geologic struc-ture, in addition to its sunny skies, helped make Oregon Tech a leader in renewable energy education, and home to the Geo-Heat Center, a national resource for geothermal development.

GEORGE HERMAN “BABE” RUTH . . .AMERICA’S BASEBALL LEGEND

Born: February 6, 1895 in Baltimore, MDDied: August 16, 1948 in New York, NYHeight: 6’2” Weight: 215 lbs.Threw and batted lefthandedMarried 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.
