ABOUT MIRACLE LEAGUE In 1998, the coach of Rockdale Youth Baseball Association, in Rockdale, Georgia, invited the first child with a disability to play baseball on his team. Michael, a 7-year-old child in a wheel chair, attended every game and practice while cheering on his 5-year-old brother. In 1999, other children with disabilities were invited to play baseball on a typical baseball field within the baseball complex of the Rockdale Youth Baseball Association. The players had expressed the desire to dress in uniforms, make plays in the field, and round the bases just like their main stream peers. The league began with 35 players on four teams that first year. There were no programs to copy. It was decided that: Every player bats once each inning All players are safe on the bases Every player scores a run before the inning is over (last one up gets a home run) Community children and volunteers serve as buddies to assist the players Each team and each player wins every game The Miracle League was born and is flourishing today. Presently, there are 300 Miracle League Organizations across the country and including Puerto Rico, Canada and Australia. The Miracle League is proud to serve more than 200,000 children and young adults with disabilities. THE INAUGURAL ALL-STAR WEEKEND Youth sports associations across the country have the opportunity to be invited to or earn their way into championship games, World Series and All-Star games.
