⚾ Blind Baseball on show in Bootle! ⚾
What a fantastic day for the Blind Trojans at the Tri-Series Baseball Tournament, hosted by Liverpool Trojans Baseball Club in Bootle.
One of the real highlights of the day was our Blind Baseball demonstration, giving the wider baseball community the chance to experience just how inclusive and exciting the sport is.
Players from several of the sighted baseball teams put on blackout shades for the first time and joined blind players on the field, experiencing Blind Baseball from a completely different perspective.
The demonstration featured two Blind Trojans teams, captained by Andy and Ray, with a mixture of blind and sighted players playing together. It was a closely contested game that finished 1–1, with plenty of great plays, teamwork and laughter throughout.
What is Blind Baseball?
⚾ All fielding players wear blackout shades to create a level playing field.
⚾ The batter hits the ball themselves before running the bases.
⚾ Teammates use clapping to help guide the runner around the field.
⚾ It’s a fast-paced, exciting sport built on communication, teamwork and trust, where blind and sighted players come together to play as one team.
It was brilliant to showcase Blind Baseball to the wider baseball community and to see so many people getting involved with such enthusiasm. Days like this are a fantastic way of encouraging more people to get involved, whether as a blind player or a sighted player.
