I've been wanting to get involved in something like that but I’m told by 
those outside of the blindness field that this is a minor league sport, 
and as such i would need to try out as far as the try outs would go i 
figured that much would be true. However, as to being a minor league 
team kind             of set up I am not quite sure that is completely 
accurate information. Can anyone who has played on any teams give me the 
lay of the field as it were? If you would like to talk to me directly, 
my e-mail is saber.smith82 at gmail.com <mailto:saber.smith82 at gmail.com>

If it helps you to help me, I used to play on a church softball team, so 
I understand the concepts between fast and slow pitch.

I used to play before my blindness, and a bit after said blindness but I 
had to lay my jersey down and that was a mistake to this day I am still 
regretting.

The other challenge I am facing I am the only blind person in my city 
whose likely willing to start in something like this.

In addition, if this helps you I am near-by to the Minnesota miller’s 
territory so that should give you some idea of what I am up against, in 
terms of location and other variables.
