It’s baseball with a twist: most of the athletes on the field are visually impaired. Players know where the ball is by listening for it. It’s called Beep Baseball, named for the beeping sound the balls make.
In the photo, Ryan Strickland takes a practice swing. Even though most players are legally blind, batters, basemen and outfielders all wear blindfolds in Beep Baseball so that people who can see shadows, for example, don’t have an advantage.
