Saturday morning was perfect for opening day at Landon’s Miracle Field. You can witness the magic over the next three Saturdays at 10 a.m. at Landon’s Miracle Field at Poly Vista Park. Come out and cheer on the players!
Landon’s mom and president of Landon’s Legacy Foundation, Marcie Smith, fought through happy tears on Saturday to describe what it was like watching the first game.
“I can’t even put it into words. The smiles on these kids’ faces, just to see their parents get to watch their kids play a sport and just knowing that Landon is looking down on us, the sun is shining, it’s a beautiful, perfect day for them. Nine years and it’s here, and I couldn’t have asked for it to be better. It’s perfect,” Smith said.
Billings Parks and Recreation operates the Miracle League of Billings. Recreation Specialist Dan McKinney described the first game as “fantastic.”
“The support from the community was unbelievable. I think the kids and the participants and the athletes and the buddies did a great job. They had a lot of fun and that’s what it was about. Great day, great weather, and I’m just so grateful for this opportunity in this field to be here,” McKinney said.
