Not only the faces and places changed since the first recorded game took place on 6/12/1839 in a cow pasture on Cooperstown, so has the season.
Long past the traditional opening day, September 26, 2009 opens for the Miracle League of San Diego. Saturday throughout the fall come to the watch America's favorite pastime and see the faces of children with mental and physical challenges in a league of their own at San Dieguito Park. At a cost million dollars, athletes often passed over, some in mobility devices, glide over smooth bases. To play the game to the best of their ability, without obstacles is priceless. Teamed with a typical peer buddy the seeds of empathy grow to compassion upon the field of the kindest, safest surface. Friendships grow that can last all the seasons of our lives and into the next century.
The Miracle League of San Diego is a dream come true for Sue and Dan Engles and all the children and thier biggest fans.
