Show Blind Man's Baseball Has Cables to Guide Players A baseball game played by the blind has only five men on a team pitcher, catcher and three basemen base-men and the "ball" is a three-inch three-inch 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 the batter strikes the pitcher ring, the basemen, standing in line behind the pitcher, try to grab and shoot it back to the catcher. For yistance, 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. |
