With a population of 2051, Weimar has the distinction of the smallest community to ever host any Babe Ruth
World Series. The citizens of Weimar and our neighbor communities of Texas TC League are proud to have the
opportunity to host our third World Series. We look forward to providing many memorable Texas experiences for everyone.
Weimar is equidistantly located in South Central Texas between the major cities of Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. Therefore, we are privileged to enjoy the benefits of both urban and rural lifestyles. On the one hand, within approximately an hour's drive are shopping malls, sporting and entertainment venues, and tourist attractions for all ages and interests. On the other hand, Weimar offers the serenity and relaxed pace of an "everyone knows
everyone else" community. Weimar and the surrounding areas have many gold courses, unique stores, seasonal hunting and fishing, and an overwhelming love of baseball. Our citizens value God, country, and family as evidenced by our numerous churches, Veterans organizations, and family activities.
Weimar's baseball history officially began in July, 1895 as Weimar hosted Columbus. Several different locations were used as playing fields as community baseball flourished in the early 20th century. The site of the 2012 World
Series will be at historic Weimar Veterans Park/Strickland Field. This field was constructed in 1948 by the Weimar Veterans following World War II. It has been a focal point of baseball action for 64 years. At one time it was the only lighted field between Houston and San Antonio. Its history includes the 1950's Herder Truckers, and NBC powerhouse, the Weimar Vets of the SCTAL, and the Texas Tomcats of the Texas collegiate League. It is currently called home by the Weimar Babe Ruth and the five time state champions Weimar Wildcats. Vets Park has served as a host for numerous high school playoff games and state and regional Babe Ruth tournaments.
Whether your travel plans include visiting the Alamo, Schlitterbahn, Fiesta Texas, Sea World, or the Riverwalk in San Antonio, NASA, the museum and theatre district, the Galleria, or Galveston Beach in Houston, or the State
Museum and Sixth Street of Austin, or the Painted Churches and museums of our communities, don't miss the best attraction – our people!
