However, the surface has been scratched. In 1975, there was only a small number of people involved with the game. Today, there are many sightless athletes enjoying the benefits of playing a sport that used to belong exclusively to the sighted. It is inevitable that beep baseball will continue to grow. It is a game that is fun to play and it offers a variety of athletic challenges.
Individuals are proudly aware of their increasing skills as they become more and more involved.
It is an excellent physical and mental conditioner. Beep baseball's greatest contribution is the important bridge it is creating between the sighted and unsighted. Sighted people go away from a beep baseball game with a new appreciation of what blindness is all about. They know they just witnessed a prime example of overcoming a physical handicap. A blind person goes home with the deep satisfaction of knowing with the assistance of a sighted person, that they too can play baseball.
