The Rotary Clubs of Conyers and Rockdale had the foresight to yell, "Play
Ball," and two years later the miracle happened. After raising more than
$700,000, the special baseball complex, designed exclusively for children
with disabilities, has become a reality.
Opening ceremonies were held Sunday afternoon at McMiracle
Field in Conyers. The first-of-its-kind sports complex came to life as
youngsters stepped up to the plate and circled the bases, most for the
first time in their lives.
No one kept score during the three games that were played
Sunday, but you'd have never known it from listening to the cheers from
the hundreds of enthusiastic fans in the stands.
