The Knights of Columbus worked with over 40 councils in the Archdiocese of Detroit to unveil a new baseball field or individuals with special needs ages 16 and up.
They managed to raise $63,000 for the cause and the field will be used by the Clinton Valley Little League Challenger Division Senior League.
Council member, Chris Butts stated that participants in the league have various levels of physical limitations, including those who require walkers and those who need assistance with swinging the bat and being pushed between bases.
However, whatever degree of mobility, Butts said, “when they get that smile on their face after they get a hit, it’s impossible to describe the feeling.”
