SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WAND) - People living with visual impairments got the chance to enjoy America's pastime at Robin Roberts Stadium in Springfield Thursday.
The fans are members of the Educational Center for the Visually Impaired, which partners with Brandt Agriculture for its services.
Personal vision coach Ann Schonhoff, who has impairments herself, said audio description technology makes events like these possible.
"Normally, when we come to a baseball game we're just sitting as spectators, but here we can really get involved a little more because we have audio description that's telling us what's going on," Schonhoff said.
