Blindfolded Puyallup Police Will Play 'Beep Ball' Team

PUYALLUP, WA - Puyallup police will play baseball against a local pro team on Saturday. But there's one catch: the officers will all be blindfolded.

That's because the police will be playing beep ball, or beep baseball, which is a modified form of the game for the visually impaired. Puyallup police will be playing the Tacoma Tide, the local beep ball pro team.

In beep ball, players use the sound of a (naturally) beeping ball for hitting and catching. The bases are soft pillars that buzz, helping players steer toward them.

If you want to get a firsthand look at beep ball, the game kicks off at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Elks Club, 314 27th Avenue Northeast.
