"I mean this is baseball. This is America's pasttime," explained Jim Hughes, a player on the Long Island Bombers baseball team.

But there's an added challenge here. All of the players are visually impaired or blind.

"Everyone on the team has to wear a blindfold even if you're totally blind so that it's an even playing field," said Hughes.

Players are able to hit a live pitch by listening for the beeping ball as it travels towards them. Once the batter hits the ball, someone behind home plate or in the outfield flips a switch which sounds either first or third base sound and it's the batter's goal to run towards the buzzing base.

"There's no base to base running. It's just knock the tower over before someone gets to the ball. That's a run and if some gets to the ball first, that's an out."

The Bombers are here as part of camp abilities at SUNY Brockport. It's a developmental sports camp for blind or visually impaired kids. The players are teaching the kids the skill of the game.

"They are such encouraging role models," said Camp Abilities Director Dr. Lauren Lieberman. "I mean we had the kids hit from a tee before and now their hitting from a pitch. So, I think their ability has expanded."

Like in Tyler Pierson's case. The 10-year-old has never hit a moving ball until Tuesday afternoon. He says these players are an inspiration.

"Some of these guys are blind baseball players! They can still play baseball. So, that proves that we're no different than anyone else, perfect vision or not," said Pierson.

"It gives them a positive vibe and it also makes them feel good about themselves. And I think if we've done that, than we've done our job," added Hughes.
