Baseball League For Camden Residents With Disabilities Returns In 2023
Saturday marked the opening day for Miracle League's spring season. Here's when and where games will take place in 2023:
CHERRY HILL, NJ - Camden County’s dedicated baseball league for residents with disabilities is officially back for the 2023 season.
Miracle League, an all-ages and co-ed baseball league, offers a chance for residents with disabilities to participate in sports at Boundless Field, a wheelchair- and walker-accessible space with a rubberized surface, colorful infield, state-of the-art dugouts, authentic outfield fence and scoreboard.
While the season was slated to kickoff on April 15, inclement weather pushed opening day to later in the month. The Miracle League’s 2023 debuted on Saturday, complete with Camden County Commissioners and Cherry Hill council members in attendance to cheer on the players.
