I guess it's to help out the umpires? “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

I can see it now, a bunch of blind fans on the field trying to rad the uniforms  .“Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.” ― Ronald Reagan Retired old fart | |||

No use whatsoever...but, it does signal that they care so very much. | |||

I saw a braille menu at a drive-thru the other day.  I agree. More PC bullshit. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

Good one BJ.  I agree, just dumb. Everybody has to be the first to do something STUPID these days. "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

While I'm sympathetic to the blind...this does nothing but virtue signal. But, but, it's important they're recognized and awareness is made da fuq? Who else needs to be recognized and made aware...quadriplegics? asthma suffers? Hay fever suffers? Eczema or, psoriasis? | |||

I was watching the TV show "Private Eyes" last night and the guy's daughter, who's blind, was showing her dad braille tatoos! Figure that one out!

They wore the braille uniforms last night. I watched part of the game - the uniforms definitely looked weird. But they did it as a fundraiser for the National Federation for the Blind. All the ballclubs do charity fundraisers throughout the season. For the O’s, thank god the season is winding down. _________________________ 2nd Amendment Defender The Second Amendment is not about hunting or sport shooting. | |||

It's Ok, within the next 4 to 5 games The Orioles will break the MLB 1938 record of the most games lost in a season. If can't win the World Series, you can still set records. Since very few fans are showing up these days, anytime there is a giveaway (shirts/hats/etc) you are guaranteed to get one. As we say here in Baltimore "There's always next year". Chris | |||

At work they put Braille instructions on the door of the microwave. The keypad to the right is a flat piece of glass without braille. Do the instructions on the door say "You're fucked" in braille? ____________________________________________________ The butcher with the sharpest knife has the warmest heart. | |||

Again, another example why pro-sports is just an incredibly stupid, vapid industry. "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||
