[Sportsandrec] Beep Baseball?

[Everett Gavel]

So I'm curious... what do you all think of Beep 
Baseball? I'm not talking about the sad-sounding 
sort of 'beepball' I've heard too many stories of 
with camps for the blind, where they apparently 
let you or make you run with a sighted guide or 
some such thing, to the base. I'm interested more 
in hearing from anyone familliar with the National 
Beep Baseball Association (www.nbba.org) and who 
may have played that version, or may have 1 of the 
20 or so teams in their region, across the 
country?

The World Series of Beep Baseball was held a 
couple of weeks ago, in Georgia, and had teams 
from across the country, as well as multiple 
nations around the globe, competing for the title. 
Unfortunately (says me personally), Taiwan won it 
again this year. Although in a way it's pretty 
cool, because to me that makes it a true 
International sport/game. Congratulations to the 
team from Taiwan, but still, I can't help wishing 
a team from my own country would've won it, 
y'know? Well, there's always next year. ;-)

Here in Colorado we have the Colorado Storm, up in 
Denver. They came down to our NFB chapter picnic 
last week here in the Springs, and it was fun. 
Maybe there'll be a team here in Colorado Springs 
some day soon. Not quite sure yet, though a 
handful of people did show serious interest.

So anyway, who here is familiar with Beep 
Baseball, and who has a team in their area?


Play Ball!
