Please note that Arlington Babe Ruth has permits issued to us by the town for all of the Babe Ruth size fields. We share the fields with several other programs, such as Legion, Middlesex and Intercity.
We should NOT use any other fields and/or equipment (i.e. batting cages) without first checking with someone from the town (Joe Connelly) or a representative of that program that has the permits for the field and/or owns the equipment.
Thanks for your cooperation....Arlington Babe Ruth Board of Directors

ARLINGTON BABE RUTH BASEBALL
2010 LEAGUE AFFILIATION
This year, each Senior League team will be affiliated, or paired with, an
Intermediate League team. On draft day, all undrafted players will
receive a phone call from either a Senior League or an Intermediate League
manager and notified of the affiliation that they were drafted to (for
example, the Giants/Braves). This pool of players will practice together
as one unified team until rosters are finalized, at which point thirteen
players will be assigned to the Senior League team, and all others to the
Intermediate League team. Consider this the equivalent of Red Sox spring
training - everyone reports to camp, but before the start of the season,
players must be assigned to either Boston or Pawtucket.
During the season, due to injuries or absences, one of the two teams may
need an additional player in order to fill their roster. In this case, a
player normally on one roster will be asked to play for the other roster
for one or more games. In previous years, players were "locked into"
their respective teams at the start of the season, and only under extreme
circumstances did players move between leagues.
Q. Why is the league doing this?
A. The original impetus for affiliation came from the looking at the number
of total players in the league, and attempting to preemptively solve the
problem of player shortages. The Rays, an Intermediate League team, were
disbanded this year due to the player shortage, and this suggestion was
made to provide more stability to the league. As the idea was discussed,
the league found that there were additional benefits in the plan, namely
the opportunity for increased playing time and the chance for some players
to compete at a higher level.
Q. So... what team am I going to be on?
A. This will depend on what team you were on last year.
If you were on a Senior League team last year, you will remain on that
team.
If you were on an Intermediate League team last year (other than the Rays)
and tried out for Seniors, you will either remain on the Senior League
team that selected you, or you will be returned to your original Intermediate
team.
If you were on an Intermediate League team last year (other than the Rays)
and did not try out for Seniors, you will be placed into the affiliate
program, and will either make the Senior League team affiliated with your
Intermediate team, or you will remain on your Intermediate team.
If you were on the Rays last year or are new to Arlington Babe Ruth, you will be dispersed to an affiliation on draft day and will play for either
Q. I played in the Intermediates last year and I did not try out. Will I
be forced to play in the Senior League?
A. If you do not want to play at the Senior League level, bring this up
with the affiliation coaches during practice. All players are placed
based on their current skill and while we make every attempt to please
players, we must make sure that the players are at the correct skill
level.
Q. How does this benefit me as a Senior League/Intermediate League player?
A. For both leagues, affiliation should prevent your team from forfeiting
games. Even losing a game you've played to completion is better than
winning a game by forfeit. Intermediate players who may be
apprehensive about playing at the Senior level, or who may have felt
they were a victim of numbers, affiliation should give them a chance to
play at a higher level on a part-time basis, which was previously
impossible due to the way the league was structured.
Q. What are the team affiliations?
A. Teams were selected by blind draw and are:
A’s / White Sox
Braves / Giants
Dodgers / Indians
Marlins / Cardinals
Red Sox / Cubs
Rockies / Phillies
Any questions should first be directed to your team manager. If you need additional information beyond what they have given you, please feel free to contact any board member.

posted 12/13/2007 Babe Ruth Life Cycle
For the players, coaches, and managers, it generally starts at the Fall tryout. Many players may get a taste of the “big diamond” from the "fallball " program and the managers start the assessment process for the following year. The winter months settle in and the manager notes are put aside. In March, spring is not that far away and Babe Ruth has another tryout, so kids can once again showcase their skills to the managers and coaches of the current 13 teams. The kids then nervously wait to see which team they will be on with a new season about to begin. As managers and coaches, we evaluate all the players to ensure that we are placing the players at the appropriate levels. Some move into the "A" level called the seniors, while others play in the "B" level called intermediates. The kids are drafted onto their teams and the season begins and before too long, the season is nearing an end. Another year passes and kids graduate and the rookies move up a notch to veteran status. The managers and coaches are all volunteers who all work to ensure that the over 180 players have a positive Babe Ruth experience.
