People often ask us where they can see a beep baseball game. The opportunities for this are rare because we’re the only competitive beep baseball team in the state. Fortunately, though, thanks to a very committed fan in Glencoe, we’ll be playing our only game in Minnesota there next week.
Since 2013, Lion Gary Koch has organized a team of players from throughout the Glencoe community to compete against us. Since none of the players are blind, or have any prior experience with beep baseball, we modify the rules a bit to give them a chance, but the competition is real. Following the game, we offer children and adults the opportunity to try hitting a pitched ball and running to a base blindfolded. This year we’ll also be selling our own merchandise, including wrist bands, temporary tattoos, and some t-shirts. Food will also be available through Coborn’s Grocery.
This event has been a big hit in the past, with people calling it an “eye opening experience”.
When: Sunday, June 28th, 2015, 12:00 PM.
Where: the former Allen Field, just west of Coborn’s Grocery, 2211 11th St. E., Glencoe MN, 55336.
Don’t miss this opportunity to cheer on the Minnesota Millers during their only appearance in Minnesota this year.
P.s. This event has been so popular that we’d really like to hold something like it in the metro area. If you’d be interested in helping us put that together, please contact us through the links on this page.
