Children’s hospital is a place that so many of our players get to visit and spend some time. If you know a Miracle League player that is spending some time in the hospital – let us know. There are several of us that are willing to stop by, spend some time and give a much needed break to parents/caregivers if needed. Miracle League…it’s more than baseball – and it is. You can call 501-940-3405 or miracleleaguear@yahoo.com

 A loneliness sometimes felt by children with disabilities and their parents in Northwest Arkansas will soon be replaced by the Miracle League.
"It gives our players a social life," said Arkansas Miracle League Director, Peggy McCall. "You give parents the chance to have a typical memory, because when you have child, you have this laundry list of things you think you are going to do and then that changes - and it doesn't have to change for the worse."
The Miracle League started in Little Rock in 2006 - and now 332 players take to the field to round the bases. The league allows kids with any type of disability the chance to just be a kid - playing baseball - and making friends.
"When they get on a team, we leave them on a team, to help build that sense of community," McCall said. "To see kids run up to their friend Sally when they haven't seen each other in the off season, it's so fun."
