The Miracle League is a baseball league for children with disabilities played on a special needs accessible field. The field completely is flat and features handicap accessible dugouts to allow for all walking apparatus. Each child gets to hit and run the bases every inning with the last player of each inning getting to run all the way around the bases for a homerun. Each player has a “buddy” each the assists him or her each game with hitting, baserunning and fielding.
