Athletes from the marylandschoolfortheblind took the diamond to play beep baseball.
For them, it’s a chance to play the game that millions of kids have enjoyed with some modifications.
“It’s so much fun to get out here, to see these kids since they’ve been kind of sheltered for a couple years so to finally be able to get out here and to put on these events is awesome,” said former Oriole Mike Bordick.
The key to beep baseball is the ball itself which makes a noise so the students can tell where it’s going.
The athletes got the help of Al Bumbry and Bordick, the former Orioles are apart of the League of Dreams which helps special needs children participate in athletics.
“You see the look on the kids faces that are participating, that in and of itself should be enough but then you see the look on the parents faces and tears come down their cheek from what their kids are experiencing,” said Bordick.
