Beeping ball and buzzing bases make baseball possible for the visually impaired – Alaska Dispatch News

Beep baseball is an adaptive version of America’s favorite pastime for blind or vision-impaired players, and while you don’t need to be able to see to play it, you need to be able to hear. The game features an oversized beeping softball, buzzing bases and simplified rules: If the batter reaches base before a fielder gets the ball, a run is scored. If a fielder gets the ball first, it’s an out.
