Beep Ball?! Yep, you HEARD Right!
One of the many great things about living in Columbus, GA is that there is always something to do! All you have to do is take a look at the Event Calendar to get an idea of all the happenings. But here's one that's a little bit out of the ordinary and we are so lucky to have this event here.
Every year at the end of August, Country’s Barbecue has their Midnight Express weekend and included in the festivities is a Beep Baseball Game played by the Chicago Comets against local sponsors. Well, this weekend, we have the 2013 Beep Baseball World Series right here in Columbus. The teams have been here all week and the excitement will culminate this weekend with the 5th and 6th games begin played Friday (Aug 2) evening and the final game of the series will take place Saturday (Aug 3) morning. 20 teams from across the nation and Taiwan are here competing for the Championship title. And remember, these players are visually impaired athletes that would probably beat any of us in a pick-up game of baseball at the park. They are amazing! All the action is happening at Golden Park in South Commons and admission is absolutely free. Take yourself out to the ball game!
