Baltimore Orioles to wear Braille jerseys to honor the blind  BALTIMORE 
-- The Baltimore Orioles will wear first-of-their kind big league 
jerseys with their  names spelled in Braille, for its National 
Federation of the Blind Night.  The Baltimore Sun reports the jerseys 
will be autographed and auctioned online after the Sept. 18  game 
against the Toronto Blue Jays .  The proceeds will benefit the 
federation, which is celebrating its 40th year in Baltimore. With  
around 50,000 members, it's the country's largest organization run by 
the blind.  Orioles' marketing head Greg Bader says the club is making 
a "conscious effort to create an  environment where everyone feels 
welcome."  The first 15,000 fans at Camden Yards will receive Braille 
alphabet cards, a blind musician will  perform the national anthem and 
foundation president Mark Riccobono will throw out the first pitch.
