Cardinals' new baseball Coach, Rex Thomas, at Alexandria's Miracle Field activities Oct 22d.
One of many things that makes the City of Alexandria special is it’s attention to those often marginalized by much of our society. Bishop Ireton’s new baseball coach, Rex Thomas, was instantly drawn to the City’s Miracle Field and the special players it attracts. Once there Thomas teamed up with an old acquaintance, Mac Slover, from the City’s Parks and Recreation Department who shepards this special program for the City.
“Saturday night I had the pleasure of going down to the Miracle Baseball League of Alexandria to team up with Mac Slover and the rest of his volunteers to help local handicapped individuals experience the game of baseball.” reported Thomas. “It was an incredibly heart-warming experience and I was proud to represent Bishop Ireton at the event. And Mac did a fantastic job of introducing me to everyone as the new Head Baseball Coach at Bishop Ireton. I will be going back this Saturday to help again.”
The City’s Miracle Field is located near the Lee Center, just off US Route 1 before the I-495 interchanges, on the north side of the interstate. Montgomery County also provides a similar facility, but these are the only two fields in the region.
