Miracle League of Corpus Christi

About Miracle League of Corpus Christi

Everyone is excited about Corpus Christi having South Texas’ first specially designed baseball field for children and adults with physical and mental disabilities. It will be possible for them to achieve the same dream as their healthy peers -- to play ball. These players get a reprieve from their daily challenges as soon as they step or roll out onto the ball field. Through funding by sponsors and the commitment of volunteers, The Miracle League builds specially equipped fields for our players; a custom-designed field incorporating a cushioned synthetic turf that allows those in wheelchairs and walkers to glide unrestricted to their positions without fear of injury. In other words, it provides a level playing field where disabled children and adults can hit, run and catch – just as they envisioned in their dreams. The Citgo Miracle League Field opens March 2011 and will feature two family changing rooms, a concession stand, a grassy berm beyond the outfield, stadium lights, covered bleachers, shaded breezeway, fun and excitement for the players, buddies, and families. Players with special needs aren’t the only ones who benefit from the action on the field. Through the “buddy” program, youth players and community volunteers partner with our players to provide assistance and encouragement. This partnership benefits both sides as they share the great American pastime to find common ground and, most importantly, friendships. Everyone deserves a chance to play baseball!
