Description
Beep Baseball is an adapted form of Baseball and is played by Visually Impaired/Blind players wearing “Sleep Shades” to level the playing field for everyone. The ball is a 16 inch round softball with a beeping sound that allows the defensive team locate the ball. 6 members field a team with a sighted picture pitching to their own team.
