Oh, I'm qualified. That's how I do it today.

Years ago, I believe the sport was referred to as Beeper Ball because I vaguely recall the local MLB team having a day where they either recognized area beeper ball players or held an exhibition contest prior to the game.

I can't imagine how challenging it must be to keep absolutely quiet during playing action and not applaud/cheer so everyone involved can hear the ball beeping.

I've never seen it played...but, I just read the Wiki. Nobody...and I mean NOBODY, loves their game more than Beep Baseball players.

If you think it is hard for the fans and players to stay silent, imagine how hard it is for the assistant coaches!

Saved $200-$300 on your mask and just used your welder’s helmet, didn’t you?
