Help Support Chicago Beep Baseball The game of Beep Ball requires specialized equipment, which is more costly than traditional baseball equipment. Beep ball is one of the few team sports available for the Blind & Visually impaired. Your contribution will directly help the men & women of Chicago and the surrounding suburbs who love to play Beep Baseball. Beep Baseball is more than a game. Beep Baseball builds teamwork, perseverance, independence, confidence and leadership skills, as well as the players’ mental and physical condition. It is through Beep Baseball that these athletes get to test their skills and determination against others from around the country. The game requires specially adapted equipment. For example, a 16” softball fitted with the rechargeable beeper costs $35, and depending on how hard it is hit may not last an entire game. A set of bases costs $375.00. Beep Baseball teams are very limited in number, and as a result the Comets, in order to have the opportunity to play other teams, are required to travel to other cities and states. These factors increase the cost for the players to participate. We’re Asking For Your Support. We are preparing a souvenir program to help offset some of the expenses for these Blind and Visually Impaired Athletes. The program will contain a team roster, a brief history and explanation of the rules of beep baseball and acknowledgements of supporting businesses and individuals These programs will be handed out at all team practices, speaking engagements and games.
