[Sportsandrec] Beep Baseball Question and Joe's Lunch...

[Ashley Bramlett]

Kelly,
In the game I play we do that.  We don't exactly fully play by the rules so 
I can't answer your question.  We have had sighted  individuals participate 
wearing blindfolds.  Its usually someone's family member.  For instance 
there is one blind youngster who has two or three siblings; they are a large 
family.  So one or two of them often would play.  Other family members come 
and observe.

Ashley
