You couldn't have askedbrfor a better Opening Day for the Miracle League of Southlake: blue skies,brsmiling faces and happy kids ready to play ball. The inaugural game onbrSeptember 26, 2015, at Bicentennial Park's Miracle League Field was truly a daybrto remember.
The event began with abrgrand-opening ceremony at 9 a.m. followed by the first official games at 10bra.m. The fields were abuzz with proud parents, volunteers and community membersbrcheering on the players.
It's been a long journeybrto Opening Day. The idea of Miracle League of Southlake began in 2007 when PhillipbrMeyer, the League's president, contacted the program's national leadership aboutbrbringing the organization to Southlake.
Meyer, along withbrSouthlake resident Mike Mills, contacted John Slocum, a member of the SouthlakebrParks Development Corporation, who was quick to join as a volunteer and citybrliaison/parks board chairman.
From there, volunteersbrand support flowed in. The Texas Rangers Foundation, the City of Southlake andbrthe Miracle League of Southlake have formed a tremendous bond and partnership –brall for the benefit of some incredibly special children.
Southlake Style was there for the inaugural game, and it warmed our hearts to see thebrplayers in action and to be part of a historical day for our city. Clickbrthrough our album to see some of our favorite shots from Opening Day.
