Miracle League Baseball

One of the best things we ever did for our family was join Miracle League Baseball. We met so many amazing kids and families like ours. We got outside. We found people who understood our challenges. We became part of a team. And so much more.

Moms and dads always tell me that they don’t think their child will actually play. And my answer is always…that doesn’t matter. It’s so fun just to be apart of something. There is no score. Or pressure. Just lots of cheering.

And tonight, during our third season, our son gave fist bumps, clapped, ran the bases, threw balls, and even hit independently. I’m so proud of him.

Fun night!

Get out and join in!
