Baseball was a Hit

Teddy finished his first season with Miracle League, and we're already looking forward to next season. I'm so glad we discovered this program and decided to give it a try, even though games are 30 minutes away. This is such a fantastic program that truly makes baseball accessible to kids with all different abilities and disabilities through a team of creative and caring volunteers. The amount of volunteers needed to support 16 teams of kids, each with a 1:1 buddy, not to mention coaches, photographers, umpires and more is a significant number, yet there always seemed to be plenty of helpers with smiles on their faces who love making baseball possible. 

Teddy's buddy Carlie was amazing with him. She quickly learned how to communicate with him and anticipate his moves. She definitely could keep up with him and was part of the reason he had a great season! He also had great coaches, who quickly knew him by name, cheered him on and supported him.

This video captures baseball pretty accurately for Teddy. I thought he was coming to say hi to me, but he was more concerned about everyone else in the stands (none of whom he knows).
