We are so grateful to have the Miracle League here - it gives Corey the opportunity to play baseball in a supportive environment and have good old fashioned fun. For parents of kids with special needs, this is such a big deal. We can actually hang out and watch the game, like "regular" parents, cheer for our kids, and relax for a bit. The teens that serve as "Buddies" for our kids are just awesome - they give up a good chunk of their Saturdays for the Miracle League season, with smiles and grace, in order to help our kids, no matter the disability.
To read about this incredible organization: Austin Miracle League
Corey has come a long way since his early days on the field... When he started, he was so nervous he had a buddy and his dad out there on the field with him.
Now, he hits the field with a smile and hits off pitch before running to first with his buddy, Bastian.
He's come a long way, baby. And, yes, he and his Buddy have grown up a lot since the Fall of 2007.
