I agree with Bulldog dad. Nederland Babe Ruth League already has players from Beaumont, PNG, Fannette, etc. Most of these towns do have other 13-15 yr old leagues that these players could play in. Port Neches has pony and Nederland players are eligble to play in this league. Many of these borders overlap when they are different league affiliations. It comes down to a preferece of what league you would like to play for, and gives an opportunity to players who live in an area without a senior league. I am sure Babe Ruth has lost players to Port Neches pony since they started getting behind their program over the last few years. I doubt it will make a big difference in the enrollment of any of these leagues.
