The Elkhart County Miracle was a planned independent professional baseball team based in Elkhart, Indiana.
Originally set to be a charter member of the newly resurrected Northern League of Professional Baseball, the Miracle was set to play in 2014 following the construction of a stadium located at the former American Countryside Farmer's Market site in Elkhart.[1][2][3][4][5]
As of mid-2014, stadium construction delays ended any chance of Elkhart fielding a team for that season.[6] In October 2014, team president and founder Craig Wallin said that a 2015 start was also doubtful, but remained confident the stadium would be built and the Miracle would take the field.[7]
Ultimately, the Northern League of Professional Baseball was never resurrected, meaning the Elkhart County Miracle never came to fruition.
