Miracle League plays ball
After weeks of practice, West Pembroke Pines Optimist Miracle League players recently took to the field to begin their fourth season.
Proud parents packed the stands like at any little league game, but the Miracle League is a bit different as its players have conditions like cerebral palsy or Down syndrome.
To accommodate players’ needs, the Miracle League plays its ball games on a special field at Rose G. Price Park, 901 NW 208th Ave.
The rubberized field is designed to allow players to use wheelchairs, and it’s painted green and white to create the appearance of grass and base striping.
