Executive Board of Directors

EYBL is operated by a Board of Directors and until 2010, Babe Ruth and Cap Ripken operated as separate entities with separate Boards of Directors. At that time they were combined into one organization and the Executive Board Position of Commissioner was created to facilitate communication between the Babe Ruth Board of Directors and the Cal Ripken Board of Directors.
