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.

Spring training's a ways off, but the Miracle League of Plymouth leaders are thinking baseball.

The program, under the auspices locally of the Plymouth A.M. Rotary, provides a baseball field for young people with disabilities, including wheelchair users.

The Rotary Clubs of Conyers and Rockdale had the foresight to yell, "Play Ball," and two years later the miracle happened. After raising more than $700,000, the special baseball complex, designed exclusively for children with disabilities, has become a reality.

The dream came true Sunday afternoon with the dedication of McMiracle Field at the American Legion Baseball Complex in Conyers. The dream was made possible by the efforts of the Conyers and Rockdale Rotary Clubs and many others who believed they could make a difference in the lives of disabled children by providing a place for them to enjoy the game of baseball.

Amanda Roberts sailed across home plate in her electric wheelchair Sunday all smiles, and it's no surprise. Unlike last year, her wheelchair didn't sink into the sand by second base and require three people to pull her around the bases.

The new Astroturf McMiracle Field in Conyers was also a huge hit for the other 133 disabled children who played on it Sunday during opening ceremonies.

A League With No Losers

Conyers, GA - Russell Slade sang between prayers those days and nights he sat vigil by the bed of his comatose 4-year-old son, Nicholas, at Scottish Rite Children’s Medical Center in Atlanta. The prayers varied. The song never did.“Take me out to the ballgame,” the father would gently sing over and over. “Take me out to the crowd…” On his motionless son’s bed, the father placed the boy’s tiny blue and yellow vinyl baseball glove. Nicholas had been admitted to the hospital in March 2000 so that tubes could be put in his ears to combat infection, a relatively minor procedure compared with the dozen or so surgeries he already had undergone. This time, however, Nicholas began to have violent seizures on the operating table. Two hours later, he was deep into a coma. Doctors feared the worst. Mr. Slade already witnessed one miracle with Nicholas. Now, as he sang, he desperately hoped for another. Once, Mr. Slade believed he’d buy a baseball glove for his only son. He never dreamed he’d be able to toss a ball around with Nicholas. He never thought he’d see his son in a uniform, playing on a baseball field.
