[Nfbf-l] Beep Baseball Teams In Florida

[David Andrews]

It has been quite a few years since I played beep baseball, but I 
will try to remember.  The rules are somewhat different from regular 
baseball, so while it isn't the same exactly, it can be fun.

The pitcher is on the same team as the batter.  AS he/she releases 
the ball he/she says pitch, or something to let you know it is on its 
way.  The pitcher tries to put the ball where he/she knows you tend 
to swing, and as you get your timing down you can hit it.

There are two bases, first and third, each is a cone that 
buzzes.  When you get a hit, the umpire turns one base on, and you 
run there and touch it.  If one of the fielders reaches the ball, and 
controls it before you make it to the base, you are out, and if you 
make it before he/she controls the ball, you get a run.
