South Oregon Baseball

On its North-most boundary, South Oregon Babe Ruth consists of the following counties (and all areas South thereof): Benton, Linn, Lane, Klamath, Lake and roughly the Southern "half" of both Harney and Malheur counties. Cities South of, and including Narrows (Harney) Princeton (Harney) and the area just South of Crowley (Malheur) (but not including Crowley) are within South Oregon Babe Ruth's Geographic boundaries. Note that South Oregon Babe Ruth might also take in a tiny portion of Northern California that is just adjacent to Oregon's South border.

Note: If you don't find your city or area listed in the directory (or if the above geographic boundary description is unclear), please call the District Commissioner nearest your location, or the State Commissioner. We look forward to helping you become a part of our Babe Ruth family.

South Oregon Babe Ruth Directory

Note: The various leagues in South Oregon Babe Ruth are listed directly after the name of each District Commissioner. Each district takes in a specific geographic area. Please contact the District Commissioner that is closest to your residence; you will be directed to the particular league in your area. The three programs (age groups) that make up Babe Ruth are: Cal Ripken (5-12 year olds), 13-15 year olds and the 16-18 year olds.

If you don't see your league area represented by a particular age group program, and you would like to start such a Babe Ruth program in your area, please contact the District Commissioner (on next page) nearest your area or the State Commissioner; all will be glad to discuss the possibility of starting such a Babe Ruth league in your area.

The directories are not meant to be exhaustive listings of all individuals in a particular group. For a more complete listing within a group, contact someone within that group.
