Bio/Historical NoteFielding gloves used by Brandon Chesser of the Austin Blackhawks, who lost his sight due to retinitis pigmentosa, to record the final out in the 2014 National Beep Baseball Association World Series. The Austin Blackhawks took first place in the Series. Beep Baseball is a modified baseball game designed for visually impaired ballplayers.
