CLASSY!!!!  Geez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 [/quote]nice job bullying a girl. i don't think nbr owns this thread. don't be so touchy. there are multiple leagues with all ages of kids in this area. people are gonna pick for themselves anyway. i don't think nbr is gonna have problems getting kids this year. all of the annexing stuff is kinda stupid anyway. there have been kids from orange county playing at nbr for years. [/quote] spoonbill, I see no bullying in that post. He was just astonished that the NBR thread was a little hijacked for another league. Actually, in all your posts on this thread, I sense some anger and spite towards NBR. Do you have a problem with Nederland Babe Ruth? Really, this thread is all about kids who want to play some great baseball with kids from all over the area. What can anyone not like about that? [/quote]no anger or spite. i do find it interesting that there was "several requests" from b.c. for the 13-14 yr olds last year when b.c. little league had 6 teams of kids that age. maybe the requests were from the yr before when the other league in b.c. for that age was in trouble. i know the city of b.c. really support that little league. it just surprises me that they had so many requests. there is no anger towards nbr here. i've been affiliated with a league for many yrs and wish them all the best. it's a thankless hard job running a youth league, but the pay is good. ;) maybe a hamburger here and there. all kids should get a taste of the big field before they get to high school... it's night and day. i believe all of the leagues for kids 13 and above are on a regulation high school field. [/quote]I can forward you a copy of the message they sent me last year if you don't believe me...are you calling me a liar??

[/quote] Actually, it was closer to eight years ago. It's hard to remember all the kids, but some names just stick with you. Babe Ruth Baseball is something the kids will always remember...the parents too. [/quote]Yes, my son was on the 13 yr old all star team that went to Regionals last year.  As I'm sure you know, he stayed with a host family & the dad was a former pro that played with the Yankees...he even gave the kids one of his stamped & autographed bats.  Definitely an experience my son will never forget!

Shane Romero...Orangefield ...Shumaker....Orangefield Cameron Spencer.....LCM AJ Hecker....B.C. Brady Carney....Kountze ....these are but a few. Nederland welcomes all who wish to play. [/quote]I am the Player Agent & I can guarantee that we have had no BC kids play in the 13-15 yr old league.  We had several requests last year & had to expand our boundaries with headquarters in order to allow them to play this year.  You may thinking of the Senior league for ages 16-18 yr olds, but not our league.

[quote name="Bulldog Dad" post="751326" timestamp="1264774977"] Thanks for posting this on NBR's thread!! CLASSY!!!!  Geez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 [/quote]In all fairness, I posted it on their thread first.  I don't mind them posting it on ours.  I hate to hear that the PN Pony is folding, but they are welcome to play at NBR...or if they choose to play at the new league, that's great too.  It's always good to have options!

Nederland Babe Ruth plays on regulation size field (90' bases with 60'6 pitching mound)

Another option is Nederland Babe Ruth.  We are holding registration Saturday, January 30th; Saturday, February 6th & Saturday, February 13th from 10:00AM – 2:00PM at the ball park located at 3300 Park Drive in Nederland.  Applicants must be ages 13, 14 or 15 as of May 1, 2010 to be eligible for the Spring season.  Registration fee will be $140 per player.  For questions or more information contact the following: Jeff Chandler –  409-853-2045  [email protected] Dina Shipman–  409-781-4073  [email protected]

[quote name="East TX" post="747554" timestamp="1264105850"] I wonder if assorted Orange County and Greater Beaumont area assorted Associations ought to all annex Nederland's geographic area? [/quote]Nederland Babe Ruth has no intention of steering players away from other leagues in Orange County.  I guess I should've explained the reason we are annexing...we have had several people in Bridge City show an interest in playing Babe Ruth but our geographic area does not cover Orange County.  I think it's a personal option & if you don't have the option of a Babe Ruth league in Orange County, why not give the kids a place where they can come play?

[quote name="spoonbill" post="745699" timestamp="1263843525"] so...is vidor youth baseball no longer in business? they have adds in the local paper. i'm a little confused. [/quote]  I'm not sure if Vidor has another league or not, but I know they don't have a Babe Ruth League...it never hurts to have options, and there are individuals in other areas of Orange County that showed an interest in playing at Nederland Babe Ruth...that's why we decided to annex it.

I know exactly who he's talking about & although I don't believe he was a 'cancer' on our team last year, I don't think that his absence contributed to our losses in the tournament. I know exactly who you are talking about too and I can promise he would have helped that team in Regionals....He would have helped the 14s in Regionals.....These kids are getting old enough to be able to handle adversity on a team...If you dont learn how to deal with it now, you are in for a rude awakening in high school baseball.....Its not like this kid will be sitting the bench......We'd love to have him at Babe Ruth! And I agree, he is one helluva baseball player & we should definitely see him on the high school field.

Thanks, that was very nice of you to say. Ya'll were a class act & a great group of ball players. Good Luck in Utah!

Congrats guys on a great season! You had a good run & should be proud of yourselves for what you accomplished this year.
