The Miracle League: Where Everyone Wins
October 28, 2018
The Tate High School Cheerleaders volunteered as buddies Saturday morning at the Miracle League, where everyone wins.
In a park where hundreds of Escambia County area athletes play baseball, softball and t-ball every year, one set of baseball diamonds stands out from the rest. A rubber surface covers what would normally be clay and grass on three of the fields at the county-owned John R. Jones Jr. Athletic Complex on Nine Mile Road, providing a safe, fun place for everyone who wants to play ball.
And for the Miracle League of Pensacola, “everyone” truly means everyone.
It’s a place where every player plays, hits, gets on base, scores and wins – every game. Operating out of the John R. Jones Jr. Athletic Complex, the Miracle League of Pensacola provides physically and mentally challenged children and adults an opportunity to play baseball, softball and t-ball just like anyone else, all in a spirited and secure environment.
The Miracle League of Pensacola relies on its many volunteers or “buddies” to keep the program going.

We at the Miracle League of Pensacola are grateful for the service of these young ladies, and the continued service that all of Tate High School provides. Furthermore, we’re always thankful for anyone who serves as a Buddy at these events, because we can’t do this without them. #amen #sobeit
Proud to be a part of Miracle League of Pensacola and the Aggie family!
I was at the ballpark yesterday and these ladies brought a lot of enthusiasm and encouragement to the ball players, parents and fans. What great representatives of Tate High School and their families. Thank you for using your influence so very well.
