C.A.P.-1994 All Stars The West Side 13, 14 and 15 year old All Stars are always very competitive and have won district, state, and regional championships.

The 14 year old tournament began in 1999 and West Side 14's have won the tournament 6 out of the 8 times it has been played. State Champions Because of the large number of Babe Ruth leagues in Massachusetts, the state crowns two state champions--an Eastern Mass champ and a Western Mass champ. Three West Side teams have won Western Mass state championships: the 13 year old team in 1972,the 13 year old team in 1998 and the 15 year old team in 2005.

The team went on play in the Babe Ruth World Series in Jamestown, NY, where they finished 4th in the country. The 2005 15 year old team made it to the finals of the regional championship, losing in the "if" game to Norwalk, CT.  The hat the 13's wore at the World Series.
