How long have you been a Miracle League coach? I started volunteering back in 2017 as a buddy for my son, Jake, when he started playing in Miracle League games.

I am currently on a musical team called Broken Records that performs there every month.
What is your favorite part of a Miracle League game? Why? My favorite part of a Miracle League game is when the players hit the ball. It can either be after the 1st or 25th swing. Seeing the excitement as the players get that hit and then run the bases never gets old! I remember a few years ago when I was pitching to Taylor. I really wanted her to get a hit from a pitch rather than from the tee. I must have pitched to her at least 20 times, but when she got that hit, the crowd went crazy, and Taylor was so excited!

What is your favorite part of a Miracle League game? Why? I love seeing the smiles on the players as they run the bases and I love watching players hit the ball over the wall. A highlight for me: When my son, Liam, hit a homerun that clanked off the roof of the tower out past the centerfield fence.
