The Sparks Babe Ruth Baseball League is a youth oriented program dedicated to good sportsmanship and respect for the rules of Baseball. The guiding principle of the Babe Ruth baseball program has been, and continues to be, promoting what is for the good of youth. All individuals involved in Sparks Babe Ruth are required to be dedicated to educating the game of baseball and sportsmanship alike.

Chartered in 1961 and incorporated in 1975, Sparks Babe Ruth maintains teams in the 13 - 15 Division (13 - 15 yr. olds) and teams in the Senior Division (16 - 18 yr. olds). We play on average an 18 game season, with the seeding for the Sparks City Tournament based on the FINAL league standings. In 2017, the METS took top honors as the Sparks City Champions for the 13-15 year old division! Additionally, the Senior division champion RED SOX took top honors for the 16 - 18 year old division! Congratulations to BOTH teams!

Sparks Babe Ruth Baseball established in the Sparks Community for over 50 years prides itself in providing equal opportunity and quality baseball for all children ages 12-18. For tournament/travel team children to High School, from the Prep to the Main division the Babe Ruth program has proven to be an asset to community sponsored baseball. Additionally we encourage participation and parental involvement and respond to all reasonable requests in a timely manner since this is your league!!! Surrounding businesses and sponsors have thrived in this relationship from the old Charlie Smith fields to the new Golden Eagle facility! We hope to continue that successful track record by encouraging all within the community to become actively involved in your league, Sparks Babe Ruth Baseball!
