Miracle on HG Mosley Parkway

4/20/2018

It finally happened. The Longview community pulled together, and after 6 long years of blood, sweat and cheers, the Gene Allen Miracle League Field opened for play. Located in the Lear Park Sports Complex at 100 HG Mosley Parkway, this field is home to the first, true special needs baseball field in the greater East Texas area.

When the first pitch was thrown on Saturday, April 14th, there weren't too many dry eyes to be seen. Thank you Miracle League of East Texas for allowing RLM to be a part of this incredible project.

The Miracle League of East Texas is excited to report that they are in the “7th inning stretch” for construction of the half-acre baseball facility designed to provide a fully accessible and safe playing field for children with mental and physical challenges. The $750,000 project has been five (5) years in the making, and is coming to fruition thanks to the support of a large number of local organizations, businesses and individuals, as well as some heavy hitters outside of East Texas. The Globe Life Texas Rangers Grant Program has donated $20,000 to the project, and Chris Davis, Major League baseball player and Longview native, recently donated $50,000.

Current activity construction includes the restroom facilities, surface installation, and the Wall of Fame. Per Casey Beddingfield of RLM General Contractors, the restrooms include two (2) family rooms complete with showers, and stalls which actually exceed the ADA requirements for such structures. An equipment storage room, and mechanical equipment room are attached to one end of the building. The specialized rubber surface for the playing field began today.

Crews started installing the specialized field on March 30, 2017.

The Miracle League (TML) is coming to town, and RLM couldn't be more excited. Casey Beddingfield and Vikki Jones have joined TML's Board of Directors, on behalf of RLM, making a strong commitment to seeing this project through.

The Miracle League will provide the area's first baseball field specifically constructed to meet the unique requirements of special needs children. Serving families in a 90-mile radius, this file will include lighting, digital scoreboard with instant playback feature, covered bleachers, shade structures and dugouts designed to accommodate wheelchairs and other assistive devices. Phase II of the project will include a playground which is 100% handicap accessible.

If you would like more information on how you can be a part of this incredible project, contact Vikki Jones at 903.759.7656, or vikki@rlmgc.net.
