BEEPING BASES Blind Youths Adults Play Baseball Game
In Golden Gate Park San Francisco a sightless baseball game drew 200 spectators as blind youths and adults played using a beeping ball and bases. The Pioneer social service group of Pacific Telephone Company employees developed the device and rules, with eight beeping bases and seven field divisions. Buddy Yates hit a homer as his father aided practice, while players chased, pitched, and ran by sound to score runs.
