Baseball for blind guys!

That's right, blindfolds and aluminum bats do have collaborative uses other than junior's birthday piñata. 'Beep Baseball' is sport that combines a keen sense of hearing, communication and lots of trust.

Here are the basics: The ball has a built-in speaker that is continually beeping. The pitcher and catcher are the only sighted players on the team, and the rest of the team wears blindfolds (not all of the players are 100% blind) to keep the game fair. After the ball is hit, the batter runs directly toward the randomly activated buzzing noise from either first or third baseline (approx 100 ft. away). If the batter can sprint to the 4 ft. tall buzzing padded base before the field of six diving defenders can stop the ball then it's a run - if not, it's an out.

The entire game is played under the supervision of volunteers who make every effort to prevent sideline collisions and watch the game without making a sound until each play is over.

Amazing!
