Babe Ruth 2012 World Series in Kitsap is only three months away!

On May 18th 2011, the contract was signed between the North Kitsap Babe Ruth organization and the Babe Ruth League, Inc. for the 2012 13-year old World Series to be held here in Kitsap County. The week-long World Series will be played at Loeb Field complex at the Kitsap Fairgrounds and Event Center, ball fields improved over the years to tournament level quality facilities with both PFD and County funds.

This is the kind of event and its corresponding economic impact, estimated to be perhaps in excess of $1 million, that the use of public funding for building or improving recreation and sports facilities was supposed to achieve.

The local chambers are cooperating to provide a great souvenir for all the players - an AXE bat & equipment bag with the 2012 WS logo; Louisville Slugger bat; autographed Babe Ruth WS ball; and a WS tee-shirt. Local businesses are encouraged to sponsor one of the bags for $150 - half the retail value! Get in touch with your local chamber to sign up.

We are proud of the Kitsap County Parks Dept for keeping Field 1 in great tournament quality shape and are proud of the North Kitsap Babe Ruth for following through with their application and winning the 2012 World Series for Kitsap. More info here.

The World Series will be played in August of 2012, in the week prior to the County Fair, finishing with the Championship game on the evening of the first Fair day, August 22nd. This will be online nationally, so we hope that Kitsap County will come out and support this great event. Look for lots of other activities leading up to this momentous occasion.
