The wait, however, might be coming to an end, according to one league board member.
Since its inception in Georgia more than 22 years ago, the Miracle League has provided special needs individuals of all ages an opportunity to play baseball in an organized league. An adaptive sports park, which is located at 670 Park Avenue, opened in Moody several years ago.
The Moody Miracle League serves St. Clair, Etowah, Jefferson, Shelby, Talladega, Blount and Calhoun counties. And according to board member Kim Sebastian, those services might be back in play soon. After nearly a year off due to complications created by coronavirus, the league’s board of directors is eying a spring return date.
