CINCINNATI -- In addition to the actual baseball game that is played during All-Star Week, Major League Baseball also sanctions dozens of supplemental activities that directly benefit the community surrounding the host city.
This year, in addition to renovating and building youth baseball fields at nine different locations, Major League Baseball and the Cincinnati Reds included an event for the Cincinnati Recreation Commission Miracle League and the Great Miami Valley YMCA Youth Miracle League, both of which focus on children with physical and intellectual disabilities.
On Friday, with their parents and families cheering from the stands, the Miracle League kids played a one-inning game on the outfield grass at Great American Ball Park.
