"Play Ball!" announced Ken Richardson, President of The Miracle League Baseball of Northeast Ohio, as the All Star National Teams took the field at Sam Masi Park in Medina, a beautifully maintained, fully handicapped-accessible field for baseball, softball and T-ball.

Medina Sunrise Rotarians became field buddies for three fun and competitive innings of America's favorite pastime, "Baseball." The ball game was played by young athletes in an organization which allows individuals with special needs to play the great game of baseball in a safe and welcoming environment.

With handshakes and congratulations to the baseball players, everyone gathered around "Homer," the Miracle League Mascot, who recently  arrived at our home field, Medina Lions Miracle League Field at Sam Masi Park. Homer is a gift from the Findlay Miracle League and traveled to Medina last week. He has been placed in an area specially designed for him by Dan Vinez of Vinez Construction and Matt Blynne of Blynnscapes Landscaping. Homer was fastened to his concrete pad by Parks and Recreation Director Jansen Wehrley.
