Show Blind Man's Baseball Has Cables to Guide Players A baseball game played by the blind has only five "en on a team -Ditcher, catcher and three base enand the "ball" is a three-Sch three-Sch metal ring strung on a waist-high waist-high cable running from the catcher's catch-er's box almost to second base, according to Collier's When he batter strikes the pitcher ring, the ba emen, standing in line behind the pitcher, try to grab and shoot it back to the catcher. For instance, if the ring passes the first baseman and the second baseman catches it and returns it to the plate before the runner reaches second, a one-base hit is made. A home run is scored when all three basemen miss it. The diamond is also enclosed by a cable to guide the players to the bases, which are run clockwise. |
