For the fourth time in a decade the Babe Ruth World Series will be making an appearance in the Capital District, once again hosted on the multi-sport complex in the Town of Clifton Park’s Clifton Common.

Clifton Park was the home of the 13-Year-Old World Series in 1997, the inaugural 1999 14-Year-Old World Series, the 14-Year-Old World Series returned in 2002. With the support of the local league, the community as well as the gracious contributions by The Town of Clifton Park, the County of Saratoga and major sponsors, this year Clifton Park will be home of the Babe Ruth League’s gem, the 13-15 World Series.

Located in Upstate New York’s Capital Region, the Town of Clifton Park nicely embodies all that is good about suburban living with a fresh blend of cosmopolitan sophistication in comparably scenic countryside and friendly, caring people making it “A Good Place to Live, Work and Play.” With a population of 35,000 residents, Clifton Park is considered one of the fastest growing suburbs in New York State. As a suburb of the New York State Capital, Albany, Clifton Park, is centrally located for the residents, visitors as well as vacationers who visit throughout the year.
