2020 Season

2020 HAPPENINGS

                                                     OOH!  BOO!
The KML ghosts and goblins planned a very successful annual Halloween blast on October 24.   Our 2020 event was safe and healthy and held in our KML parking lot.  Many wore favorite Halloween costumes.  Pictures!  Treats!  Fun!  Players experienced our “trunk or treat” in shifts, team assignments,  as follows:

5-5:30 PM           A’s, Brewers, Cardinals, Cubs
5:30-6 PM           Dodgers, Marlins, Mets, Nationals, Orioles
6-6:30 PM           Phillies, Pirates, Red Sox, Royals
6:30-7 PM           Tigers, Twins, White Sox, Yankees, any unassigned players

Our event guides took socially distanced families through the maze of some 20+ decorated trunks.  And all got to experience our unique “candy chutes”.   All volunteers and visitors wore masks, too.  What fun!

BREAKING NEWS:  Unfortunately, our board had to make the decision to  cancel our 2020 Fall Season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  Like our decision to cancel our Spring Season, we had to keep the health and safety of our players, families, coaches, and volunteers first and foremost in our minds.   But watch for a special event or two that we will allow us to be socially distanced and safe! 

**********

MAY 9:  WE HOSTED OUR FIRST EVER DRIVE THROUGH to take the place of 2020 Spring Opening Day!

     While we’ve had to cancel our 2020 Spring Season, it doesn’t mean that we can’t have a good time at the ball park, right?  Nearly 80 players/families joined us for our first ever Kiwanis Miracle League “DRIVE THROUGH” on Saturday, May 9th.  While it wasn’t “opening day” as we typically know it, all seemed to have a good time!  For most, it just felt good to be near the ball park!  Players wore their uniforms!  They stayed in their cars.  Coaches gave them a “socially distanced” high five!  Our PA Guy announced their names on the PA System!  Cubby Bear!  Shrine Clowns!  DM Fire Truck!  DM Police and squad car! And each player took home a special treat from our KML board of directors.  Teams came through under a schedule:
1-1:30 PM           A’s, Brewers, Cardinals, Cubs
1:30-2 PM           Dodgers, Marlins, Mets, Nationals, Orioles
2-2:30 PM           Phillies, Pirates, Red Sox, Royals
2:30-3 PM           Tigers, Twins, White Sox, Yankees, any unassigned players
     We, of course, adhered to the current health guidelines.  We want and continue to want everyone to stay safe.
