DATE: JULY 3, 2025
HOT SPRINGS NATIONAL PARK, Arkansas — The deadline is July 11 for reserving advertising space in the program for the 2025 Babe Ruth World Series for 14-year-olds, which will be played starting August 8 at Hot Springs’ Majestic Park baseball complex.
“We have only one spot left in the program for a major sponsor,” Majestic Park General Manager Derek Phillips said Thursday. “We have other ad spots available but the sponsorship of the Opening Ceremony is the only major sponsor spot left available.”
Phillips said the Opening Ceremony sponsorship will go for $5,000, while half-page ads are available for $500 and full-page ads are available for $1,000.
“The World Series program will be available throughout the tournament, August 8 – 16, and will contain team information, things to do in Hot Springs, and have spots for all partners of the 2025 World Series here in Hot Springs,” he said.
Phillips said the Opening Ceremonies sponsorship will have primary exposure at the opening ceremony at Magic Springs on August 8. All of the 18 teams playing in the World Series will have lunch at Magic Springs and then play in the theme and water park until the World Series Village opens at 5 p.m. That will be followed at 7 p.m. by the kickoff game between the host Hot Springs team and Nigeria at Majestic Park.
Tickets for the World Series are available now at www.majesticpark.org. Tournament passes are $50 for adults and $30 for kids 7-17. Daily admission tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for kids 7-17.
Tournament competition starts in earnest starting at 9 a.m. August 9 with all 18 teams taking the fields at Babe Ruth Field at Majestic Park and at Lakeside High School Baseball Field. World Series games will be played daily from 9 a.m. to
10 p.m. through August 16.
Phillips said tournament updates will be posted on www.majesticpark.org.
“Our city will be hosting teams from around the United States and the world,” Phillips said. “These young athletes and their support personnel — and lots of their fans — will be in Hot Springs for 10 days of top-level baseball competition.”
The teams that will play in Hot Springs are:
Hot Springs host team; New England Champion; Middle Atlantic Champion; Ohio Valley Champion; Southeast Champion; Midwest Plains Champion; Southwest Champion; Pacific Northwest Champion; Pacific Southwest Champion; Arkadelphia invited team; Puerto Rico; Nigeria; New Zealand; Curaçao; Philippines, and Mexico.
“The spotlight will be on our city and our top-level baseball facilities,” Phillips said.
“Having the young athletes play at Majestic Park will be especially meaningful for them since this is the very spot where Babe Ruth trained and played in the early years of the 20th Century. They’ll enjoy playing on Babe Ruth Field and our larger-than-life bronze statue of The Babe, one of only three like it in the world.
“Adding to the excitement, Hot Springs Baseball Weekend will take place August 8 – 9, featuring legendary players Johnny Bench, Bill “Spaceman” Lee, Fergie Jenkins, Bret Saberhagen, Steve Garvey and Al Hrabosky.”
