Tribute to a Youth Baseball Icon

Louie "Mr. Butler" Butler, long-time president of Oakland Babe Ruth/Cal Ripken Youth Baseball and NorCal Assistant State Commissioner gets recognized by the Oakland A's for everything he has done for baseball and the Oakland community by throwing out the first pitch on July 5th, 2022.

A message from the Babe Ruth/ Cal Ripken League President;

Babe Ruth League, Inc has always been deeply committed to providing all of our participants with the very best educational sports experience possible in a safe and enjoyable environment.  We thank you for your patience, understanding, and support as we navigate through these unparalleled times.    It is the goal of Babe Ruth League, Inc. to achieve a complete 2020 local league season so everyone can participate in the game they love. It remains our hope that once permission is granted by state and local health officials, we’ll return to our community fields and play as much baseball and softball as we can for the remainder of the 2020 year. We’ll be encouraging our commissioners to extend local league play into the summer and fall months in order to permit a full season for everyone.   In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, timelines are now flexible. Commissioners in your state will work with league presidents to discuss if and when district and state tournaments can take place. Information regarding Regional Tournaments and World Series dates and locations will  be forthcoming as we explore other opportunities and formats in the next several weeks once our leagues get back up and running.   Until we meet again on the diamond, we ask you to focus on the guidelines set by local, state and federal governments to make sure we all do our part to ensure the health, well-being and safety of our players, families, volunteers and fans.     Be sure to stay connected with Babe Ruth League through our email, social media and websites for the most up to date information.     Sincerely, Steven Tellefsen President/CEO Babe Ruth League, Inc.
