Episode Details

Get ready for the National Beep Baseball Association World Series hitting Aurora, Illinois, from August 3rd to 8th, 2026—where over 600 visually impaired athletes from 21 teams will battle it out at the Stuart Sports Complex. Born in 1964 when an engineer outfitted a softball with a beeping device to give blind kids a chance to play, beep baseball has grown into a powerful symbol of unity and inclusion. Founded in Chicago in 1976, the NBBA brings communities together through sport, with games featuring buzzing bases and a beeping ball—all played without sight. Over 100 games will unfold, culminating in the championship on Saturday, August 8th, at 9:30 AM. This annual event, which once traveled to Taipei, returns to Illinois—a state that’s hosted it before—and promises heart, grit, and unforgettable moments. Check the NBBA website for full details.
