Our
First Rule: No Kid Should Be An
Exception.
|

 |
One of the inspirations
for the Miracle League of Southwestern PA (MLSWPA)
came from when a parent approached a youth
baseball coach about seeking an exception for
his disabled child to be allowed to hit off
of a batting tee in order to play in an
organized little league game. Although this
would have allowed the child to participate
in the game, it also seemed a bit unfair.
After all, why should a child with special
needs be an exception? Instead, this child
became one of the inspirations to create a
special place where physically and mentally
disabled children could play in their own
league, on their own teams, with their own
equipment, and most importantly, on their
own field.
The field has been built and Opening Day was
on May 16, 2009. Today, the MLSWPA is
focused on providing Miracle League Baseball
for all disabled children and adults in
Southwestern Pennsylvania. We cannot change
or cure the medical issues life has dealt
disabled children. What we can do is provide
them with an opportunity to experience the
joy and benefits that come from playing our
National pastime—baseball at the new Pirates
Charities Miracle League Field in Cranberry
Township.
