Lighthouse Guild Announces New York City Blind Baseball Team

An adaptive version of the sport is opening opportunities for the blind and visually impaired. At a clinic at Central Park on Sunday, the Lighthouse Guild and the U.S. Blind Baseball Association helped new players beat the odds.
Wearing blindfolds, players navigated bases, each making a different sound to signal which direction to run. The second baseman, the only sighted person on the field, claps more quickly the closer the batter comes.
"Our goal is to get our runners to make it from home plate to first base running at full speed with a mask on in 11 seconds," said USBBA president and Lighthouse Guild adaptive technology specialist Ed Plumacher.
