Miracle League kicks off 10th baseball season for disabled youth in western Mass.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) - The Miracle League of Western Massachusetts kicked off its 10th season of offering young people with disabilities the chance to play baseball.

Ninety players between the ages of four through 19 registered for the sport in under an hour. Instead of nine innings, participants got to play two innings in three games on the Aschermann Family Field at Springfield College.

Each game was tailored to the abilities of each person, one of the many reasons why parents bring their children every Sunday morning.

"Being here every week, everybody is cheering him on and all the other kids, and no one is judging us," said parent Angela Hansberry. "Everyone is just having a good time and cheering on their kid, everyone to the best of their ability, you know, whatever they can do. Everyone is still cheering them on. It's really cute to see."

The founders of the Miracle League told 22News they're looking for volunteers to help this season. To sign up as a volunteer or for more information on the program, visit miracleleaguewestma.com.
