About Miracle League Baseball
Miracle League Baseball was created in Georgia in 1998 as a way to give children with disabilities the opportunity to dress in uniforms, play baseball and be part of a team. Every player bats once each inning, all players are safe on bases and every player scores a run before the inning is over. This marks the third season of the Miracle League in Utah.
