About MLL:  The Miracle League of Long Island is a non-competitive baseball league for children with disabilities. Each player has the opportunity to bat every inning and hits the ball off a ” T” or are pitched to. The player then hits a HOMERUN and scores for their team! The backbone of this program are the BUDDIES. BUDDY stands for, Because Unbelievable Dedication Deserves YOU! Each BUDDY is assigned to a player. The BUDDY helps the player at bat and then helps them navigate around the bases to score a HOME RUN. After the player has their turn at bat, the BUDDY heads out to the field for a little fun while working with the players and keeping them safe.

The Miracle League of Long Island’s mission is to establish and sustain baseball programs for people (of all ages) with disabilities. The MLL’s objective is to provide an opportunity for those individuals to experience the joy and benefits that come from playing our national pastime.It aims to help the league’s players develop social skills and increase self-esteem, while promoting community support and sponsorship for the league.
