The sport is a game-changer and works through sound. Deer Park's Blake Boudreaux, diagnosed with eye cancer, says his lack of vision has not resulted in a lack of involvement in team sports.
"We're going to have 19 teams from around the United States, and we're very excited to be representing the city of Houston and hopefully bringing back a championship."
While the sport is certainly competitive, there will be only one World Series champion. And regardless of the final score, these men and women being able to play this game is a win - because it's an opportunity some may have considered lost. "Someone who has lost their vision later in life, who has played sports in the past, they don't have that competitive outlet to really go out there and be part of a team," Boudreaux noted. "They find beep baseball, and it gives them that outlet and really changes their confidence."Drafted by Astros, Galena Park's Nehomar Ochoa Jr.
"I tried to fight it - I tried not to be blind," Marquez, who lost his vision 14 years ago following a gunshot incident, shared. "It's not who I am. It's just a piece of who I am. Beep baseball really brought me out of my shell. Because of it, I play multiple sports now. I actually play blind soccer as well for the national team."
Some think of Beep baseball as a game with rules that have been changed. For many players, their lives have been changed.
