[0:05] Welcome back to the dig where we give
[0:07] you all the dirt on the latest
[0:09] developments happening in Shaki. Today
[0:11] we're at Tapa Park and Joe Schleeper
[0:13] Stadium where the much anticipated
[0:15] Miracle League field is being
[0:17] constructed. Miracle League helps remove
[0:20] barriers to playing baseball by
[0:21] providing wheelchair accessibility,
[0:23] implementing a buddy system that pairs
[0:25] players with volunteers, and using
[0:28] league play rules that celebrate ability
[0:30] over competition. The field itself will
[0:33] have a rubberized turf surface that is
[0:35] mobility device accessible. Dugouts are
[0:38] designed to provide wheelchair access,
[0:40] and on the field, bases and mounds are
[0:42] painted onto the surface to remove
[0:44] raised obstacles. The field is made
[0:47] possible through the partnership of many
[0:49] different organizations within Shakabe
[0:51] and beyond including the city of
[0:53] Shakape, Shakabe Lions Club and
[0:55] Foundation, Cigars and Baseball, the
[0:58] Shakape Baseball Association, local
[1:01] businesses and families, and the Lions
[1:03] Club International Foundation. Miracle
[1:06] League Field had its groundbreaking in
[1:08] May and is anticipated to be complete in
[1:10] fall 2025.
[1:12] And that's the dig. Want to know what
