Bangor Alternative Baseball Team Plays Sunday

Did you know there is such a thing as the Alternative Baseball Organization? It's a nationwide league and their goal is to provide an authentic baseball experience for adults and teens (15+) with Autism and other disabilities for physical and social skills enrichment in life on and off the baseball diamond.

Did you know there is an ABO team in the state of Maine? It's the Bangor Alternative Baseball Team and they formed this year and are the only team north of New York. So in an effort to cap their first year of practice, they are going to take on a group of "celebrities" Sunday October 17th at Mansfield Stadium starting at 4pm.

Admission is free and they have food and fun planned for those who come and take part.

Kevin Stevenson is one of the coaches on the team and he joined The Morning Line to talk about the program and their goals for this year and in the future.
