Oh cool. I didn't know there were any beep baseball teams around here. Has anyone heard of blind soccer teams? I recently found out that there is an international league, but am not sure if there's one in the US.Thanks, Eliza On Sep 11, 2010, at 1:35 AM, SHARON JOYNER wrote:----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Cush" <mcush@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <mcush@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, September 09, 2010 8:55 AM Subject: Hear the BallPlease contact the Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities directly should you have any questions.The Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities, in collaboration with theDepartment of Parks and Recreation, the Long Island Bombers and the New Jersey Lightning cordially invite you to New York City Hear the Ball.New York City Hear the Ball will showcase The Long Island Bombers and theNew Jersey Lightning, two local baseball teams with vision disabilities.
