Beep Baseball
Stephen Lyles plays beep baseball for the Colorado Storm. Lyles has retinitis pigmentosa and has played the sport, which is a variation on baseball adapted for people who are blind, for a decade. The Denver Post quotes him:
'Power of the beep: Game fashioned for blind also takes guts', Denver Post, 2 July 2006.

"It made me feel more self-confident and made me feel that there was something more out there," Lyles said. "It's a chance to forget that you're blind.
"To actually throw down your cane and run as fast as you can, it's a great feeling."
