Beep Baseball: A Sport for the Blind
Beep baseball is a sport designed for blind and low vision athletes, providing them with the opportunity to participate in a competitive and adapted version of baseball. Players wear blindfolds and use a beeping ball that allows them to track its location. The game is modified with unique rules, including only two bases and the necessity of hitting high pop flies to prevent easy fielding. Beep baseball teams compete in the annual World Series, promoting comradery and a sense of family within the blind sports community.
