Can you imagine playing baseball when you are visually impaired? Our friend and Speaker for It's OK, Sherlock Washington, plays Beep baseball. A 16oz. softball with a speaker in it is used to help fielders locate the ball. Sherlock has organized a team that plays in Matawan, NJ. Check out the schedule at http:www.facebook.compages/New-Jersey-Lightning-Beep-Baseball/122422584434827?ref=mf. Sherlock, you continue to inspire us to pursue our dreams no matter what the obstacles.
