Uponor Sponsors Opening of New Harmon Killebrew 
Field for Special-needs Children
      
On June 26, Minnesota Twins first baseman Justin Morneau and Nita 
Killebrew, wife of the late Twins Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew, helped to 
celebrate the grand opening of a new ballpark for the Minnesota's South 
Metro Miracle League.

The Harmon Killebrew ballpark, located in Lakeville's King Park on 
Dodd Boulevard, is a barrier-free, handicapped- and wheelchair-accessible 
baseball and softball field designed with a cushioned, rubberized playing 
surface especially for special-needs children.

The new ballpark, which has been four years in the making, broke 
ground last September.

"Uponor is proud to be a Grand Slam Club sponsor of the new Harmon 
Killebrew Field," says Richard Peick, Engineering project manager at Uponor, 
who was at the grand opening ceremony and was also involved in the 
groundbreaking last September.

Peick's family has also gotten into the spirit of the South Metro Miracle 
League. His son, Zachary, has signed up to be a 'buddy' in the league to help 
children run the bases. "Many of us at Uponor look forward to donating our 
time to the league," he says.

The league will offer spring/summer and fall baseball programs and 
can accommodate up to 240 children. For more information, visit
