When? March 30th, that's a Saturday, at 7 pm.

Why? To raise money for the League, all the funds will go directly to the children of MLM. We just built a new field of dreams this past year and are looking to add bleachers and other enhancements in the near future. Find out more about the work your money does on our website.

How? By going to our ticket website. But if you're still not sure, check our events page.

Player Profile: Josh D

We know Josh for playing the meanest air guitar this side of the Mississippi! But, when he's not rocking it, or hitting homers at our ML games, Josh is a 15-year-old sophomore at North Andover High School. He spends his free time playing basketball, riding his Green Machine, listening to music (a lot!), and hanging with family and friends. He absolutely loves Miracle League and we absolutely love him!

Get To Know...Coach Steve

We know him as fun-loving Coach Steve, who assigns us to our players or buddies each week and coaches us in our positions and at bat. You also might notice him slinking about the field, taking some of the best pictures a baseball league has ever seen (your baseball cards were made from his stunning pictures!). But, what you definitely notice him for is being quite the exact opposite of a belly itcher, he's one of our favorite pitchers!

But there's so much more to Coach Steve! His beautiful wife Donna has been with him for 18 years and they have two girls; Julia (11) and Sarah (9). The Northeastern U. alum grew up in Tewksbury but has lived in Maynard for the past 12 years where he works as a Speech-Language Pathologist in the Winchester Schools. Ever the runner and of course naturally the photographer (was he born with a camera in that hand?), Steve, Coach Steve, is one of MLM's best assets! (And, he's a life long Red Sox and Boston sports fan! Just the way we like our volunteers!)

Casino Night News: Open Bar and New Prizes!!

It's hard to believe, I know...but the Casino Night planners have done it.  They just made Casino Night even better!!! As you know, this Saturday, the 17th, you are invited to the Concord Elks Lodge (in, well, where else? Concord, MA) at 7 pm for a night of craps, roulette, black jack and more!!  You can still purchase the discounted tickets for $50 here, or $60 at the door. And, of course those tickets come with chips (there will also be a chip bank for those of you vying for the big prizes) but now those tickets come with more....an open bar! Yes, it's okay to smile!!

Now, get really excited because we can officially release the prize list...

• Boston Bruins autographed jersey (the entire Stanley Cup Championship team)
• Patriots tickets in the Putnam Clubhouse

We will have raffles with equally awesome prizes so there is literally something for everyone to get excited about.  Obviously if you're a sports lover you are in seventh heaven with this list! And it only gets better.  You can even meet Rich Shertenlieb of the "Toucher and Rich" show on 98.5, the Sports Hub.

With all the fun and excitement of the night, we urge you to keep in mind that not only can you win these fantastic prizes and have a night filled with fun, but you are also doing it for the children of Miracle League of MA.  In all of the fun you'll be having, you are making these kids' dreams come true.  They already have a great time on Saturday mornings playing baseball with their buddies, but a turf field will improve that enjoyment ten-fold, and all of you that attend Casino Night are helping to make that happen.  So, thank you!
