Orange County kids have been playing Sr. Babe Ruth(16-18) for years.  "Little" Babe Ruth(13-15) was always limited to Jefferson County residents only.

[/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.

No, this has been about ten years ago, but the players listed, played with my son. There were some players from Lumberton too, but I can't recall their names.

The Shumaker kid that I left off his first name is Jeremy...

[/quote]Good to know...I wasn't around 10 yrs ago.  I have a 14 yr old that is trying out for the freshman high school team today.  I'm hoping his experience playing on the bigger Babe Ruth field will help him in playing high school ball this year.

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!

[baddog]

We still correspond with a host family from Virginia. They were great. My son went there to play in the World Series, but we came up short. Now that was the Senior Babe Ruth team.

Good luck to your son. There is nothing quite like being a ''ballpark junkie''.  ;D

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.

There were a few years in the past...about 6-8 years ago... when Orange County kids were allowed to play at NBR.  The boundary was reduced back to Jefferson County after it was revealed that it was becoming a "select" league in the 14-15 year old division.  Kids were being turned away based upon lack of skill.  Since the park that NBR plays upon is considered a neighborhood park in Nederland, there were alot of outraged parents whose kids were being turned away.  Good move, in my opinion, by the previous leaders at NBR who changed this back to Jefferson County only and turn away NO kids.

It is my understanding that the present board has expanded the boundary again, but this time with good intentions of including more kids in the league who may want to try something different or who may not have any other alternative.

[/quote]i know a few that played last yr at nbr. maybe they were 16.

[Bulldog Dad]

Nederland Babe Ruth and Mid-County Babe Ruth are two seperate organizations.  NBR is for 13-15 year olds and MCBR is for 16-18 year olds.  They operate totally seperate from each other.

MC Sr. Babe Ruth has taken some 15 yr olds from Orange County in the past if they had spots open.  I doubt we will do that now that the OC kids can play down.
