Our own Channing Proctor gave us an inspiring talk about the Miracle League, a baseball program designed for people with disabilities, From its humble beginnings in suburban Atlanta, where Channing first came across it, to a nationwide program, Channing talked about how he helped spearhead the program in Charleston. He led an ambitious fundraising initiative, even raffling off his prized classic car to help raise money. The field was built and the Charleston Miracle League thrives today, with Channing’s own son as one of its marquee participants.
