History of BaseABLE

Special Olympics

The Special Olympics started in 1968 and has grown to support more than 5 million athletes, 1 million coaches and volunteers, more than 100,000 competitions each year, and 32 Olympic-type sports through programs in more than 170 countries.

But baseball is not one of them.

In 2014, baseball was added to the Special Olympics USA games for the first time, with four teams – Alabama, Delaware, New Jersey, and Rhode Island. But it was left out of 2018.

Will it make the 2026 games? BaseAble is trying!

FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME
