Public Invited to Miracle League Opening Day April 27

April 19, 2024 - It's time to play ball! Midland residents and baseball fans across Michigan are invited to celebrate Opening Day 2024 of the Middle of the Mitt Miracle League on Saturday, April 27 at 10 a.m. at the Midland Miracle Field in midtown Midland, 225 E. Collins Street.

Games take place at 10 a.m., 11 a.m. and noon as the six of the eight Miracle League teams kick off the spring 2024 Middle of the Mitt Miracle League season.

A Miracle Field is a universally-accessible soft surface baseball diamond that offers athletes of all ages with a cognitive or physical disability a safe and welcoming place to play baseball without barriers. The rubberized surface of the 115' diamond accommodates wheelchairs and assistive devices while helping to prevent injuries. And what's more exciting is that each athlete is offered a community buddy, someone who assists athletes on the field as they bat, run the bases and field the ball, allowing parents and caretakers to cheer from the bleachers and enjoy the game. In a Miracle League game, everyone bats, everyone scores and everyone wins!
