Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers recently participated in a unique charity game of baseball called beep ball, designed for individuals who are blind and visually impaired. The officers faced off against the Indy Thunder, a successful team in the sport. In an effort to level the playing field, everyone, including the officers, wore blindfolds during the game.
Despite their best efforts, the IMPD officers were defeated by the five-time beep ball champions, Indy Thunder, with a final score of 13-8. IMPD Captain Shane Foley expressed his hope that this event could become an annual rivalry, showcasing the teamwork and sportsmanship of both teams.
Foley admitted that playing the game blindfolded helped him gain a greater understanding and appreciation for the challenges faced by individuals with visual impairments. He commended the Indy Thunder for their impressive skills and their recent tournament win in Las Vegas.
The game served as an opportunity for both the officers and the Indy Thunder to come together, promote inclusivity, and raise awareness about the unique sport of beep ball. The event was not only a fun and educational experience but also a chance to celebrate the talents and accomplishments of the visually impaired community.
