Southfield is honored to be the home of Michigan’s first Miracle League baseball field (located at the north end of the Municipal Complex at 26000 Evergreen Road).

Each program offers the inspiring Miracle League special experience via an energized, esteem building event day production with high quality announcing, player recognition, and an inclusive atmosphere. The Miracle League experience builds one united Miracle League family at a fun, safe, stigma free place for all.
