I would rephrase this to say that NBR has expanded it's boundaries to allow Orange County kids to participate in Babe Ruth League if they so desire. There are plenty of different baseball organizations out there for kids of this age to participate in including Babe Ruth League, Big League Little League, Pony League, Dixie League and of course all of the different select organizations. Babe Ruth League Inc. requires each local league to have a clearly defined geographical boundary from which it can form a league. This is in place so that if another group in the same general area cannot form a BR league within another BR league's boundaries. This is similar to the geographical areas set forth by Little League Baseball Inc. Just a different organization. Mid-County Babe Ruth is the Senior Babe Ruth Division in this area and is made up of players 16-18 years old from all over Southeast Texas. It has run in this area for years allowing kids in this age group from Jefferson, Orange and Hardin Counties to participate. Nederland Babe Ruth is only responding to the inquiries from numerous folks in the Orange County area over the last several years to allow thier kids to play at NBR. After much discussion, the Board of Directors has voted to allow more kids to play in the league. They are by no means trying to take away from your registration numbers, but only responding to the requests of interested parties. Hope this eases the tensions of anyone who had any other thoughts as to why this change was made. [b] When and where do you sign up for the Mid-County Senior Babe Ruth League (16-18 yr olds)? I haven't had much luck finding contact information on this.[/b] [/quote] [/quote] You can sign up at any Nederland home game(Fresh,JV, or Varsity) at the concession stand.
