Milford Junior Major League / Daniel S. Wasson League
Age 13-18 Players
The Daniel S. Wasson / Babe Ruth Baseball League recently merged with Milford Junior
Major League / Pony Baseball. The combined leagues will be run by the Junior Major League Board with George Spescha as President,
providing the largest youth baseball program for ages 4 – 18 in the City of Milford.
The combined leagues will continue to affiliate with the Pony Baseball, Babe Ruth and Senior Babe Ruth programs providing your child with the best opportunity to play real baseball.
Our goal is to restore the Babe Ruth program to the local dominance that it once
was. For the upcoming season, we are looking to build a solid base of players
for future years.
Babe Ruth Divisions
The Babe Ruth program offers a full size 90’ diamond along with travel teams to play surrounding towns. Our home fields are Wasson
Field and Milford Academy Field. Two certified umpires for each game
will be used. All Babe Ruth programs offer the opportunity for National
Tournament competition.
Babe Ruth (13)
For the players graduating from Little League or our Bronco Division, we will be
offering the Babe Ruth 13 Division consisting of league age 13 year old players.
All players that register will be placed on a team. The schedule will
consist of playing other Babe Ruth teams from the surrounding area. The season
is anticipated to start the end of April.
Babe Ruth (14-15)
All players that register will be placed on a team. We will hopefully have
enough players to have a draft system to form the teams. The schedule will
consist of playing other Babe Ruth teams from the surrounding area. Games will
start once High School Baseball is finished, usually the first week in June.
Provided
there is enough interest, we mayl also form a travel team to play other Babe
Ruth travel teams throughout the State on Sunday’s. Participation on the travel
team will be based on the players ability and require an additional fee.
Babe Ruth (16-18)
For this season, we anticipate only 1 to 2 teams and will not be subject to
drafting. Teams will be selected by their respective manager. The schedule will
consist of playing other Babe Ruth teams from the surrounding area. Games will
start once High School Baseball is finished, usually the first week in June.
The league reserves the right to make any changes to the above which would
benefit the league as a whole.
