The Miracle League of Northwest Ohio is an organization whose mission is to construct a rubberized baseball field in Northwest Ohio for kids with disabilities, so that they have a chance to play baseball just like other kids. Below you will find the history of The National Miracle League.Bird's eye view of the field

History

In 1997, the Rockdale Youth Baseball Association's coach, Eddie Bagwell invited the first disabled child, Michael Moore to play baseball on his team, after watching this 7 year old in his wheel chair attending every game and practice, while cheering on his 5 year old brother play America's favorite past-time.

And in 1998, the Rockdale Youth Baseball Association (RYBA) formed the Miracle League to further its mission of providing opportunities for all children to play baseball regardless of their ability. The disabled children in the community had expressed the desire to dress in uniforms, make plays in the field, and round the bases just like their healthy peers. The league began with 35 players on four teams.
