Miracle League Buddies are a vital part of the success of the Miracle League. Each Miracle League player is assigned a buddy for each game. The buddy is there to protect the player from balls, assist the player in batting and running the bases, and to be a friend on and off the field. Buddies receive a Miracle League shirt and certificate for their participation.
Buddies are children (ages ten and up) and adults who enjoy baseball or softball or just like to have fun in a spirit of giving. Buddies come to the Miracle League from youth leagues, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, area schools, religious groups, local professional teams, to mention a few. Though we call them Buddies, many people refer to the volunteers as Angels in the Outfield.
