Baseball
is a favorite pastime of many children, but for a child with a disability,
there is simply no safe place where they can go and hit a ball. The Junior
Grizzlies baseball league gives all kids, regardless of their limitations,
the ability to play on a level playing field.
Junior Grizzlies was established in 2006 as the flagship program of the Fresno
Grizzlies Community Fund. Junior Grizzlies is a baseball league specifically
designed for kids with mental and physical disabilities. This unique
baseball league allows all kids to enjoy America's favorite pastime.
All participants are assigned to teams, each team practices weekly and plays
every Sunday afternoon from April to early June. The Junior Grizzlies
season runs for 8 weeks. The Grizzlies Community Fund is currently building
a field of dreams for Junior Grizzlies at Herndon and Sunnyside in Clovis.

The 2007 season started on
