With the approval of a long term lease with the Plymouth Canton Public Schools, the Rotary Club of Plymouth A.M. is ready to put together the lineup in enlisting partners to join us in the effort to fund a Miracle League Baseball Field on the property. As we finalize plans and costs for the project we know that we will need every interested person in addition to some pinch-hitters to join us in the project.

Our Club is fully engaged; the property is secured; now all we need is the Time, Talent and Treasure necessary to create this amazing facility for the children of Plymouth-Canton and all of western Wayne County.

A Miracle League field is a baseball field where you will only hear what a child CAN do.

A group in Plymouth has one year to pull off a ‘miracle.’

Debra Madonna, co-chair of the Miracle League of Plymouth, said the countdown has begun to generate enough donations to bring a ‘miracle field’ to the community; a fully handicapped accessible field where children of all ability levels will be able to play baseball.

“It’s something for kids with special needs to play on,” said Madonna. “It’s not just for Plymouth kids. It’s for anyone that can drive to it.”

The field, proposed by the Miracle League of Plymouth, will be a place where children of all capabilities will be able to play baseball.
