The Greater Westfield Babe Ruth League has provided competitive baseball for more than 60 years. Players from Westfield, Southwick, Granville, Montgomery, Blandford, Huntington, Chester, Worthington, Middlefield, Agawam, West Springfield and Southampton are invited to sign up. The league provides baseball opportunities for players from age 13 through age 15. New players at all ages are chosen for teams each season.
The league’s success can be attributed to the many trained coaches and league volunteers that work tirelessly to support the league. The league has enjoyed great success in the 2012 and 2014 seasons with teams earning trips to the Babe Ruth World Series Tournaments in Kitsap County, WA and Ocala, FL.
In 2019 Greater Westfield Babe Ruth will be hosting the 15 Year Old New England Regional Tournament in July and the 13 Year Old Babe Ruth World Series in August. This will be a great opportunity to showcase the City of Westfield and our league, noted Dan Welch.
Westfield Babe Ruth provides the travel ball experience without the high cost to join other programs. Most games are played at Bullens Field in Westfield, rated as one of the best places to play and watch baseball in Western Mass.
