CLEVELAND SCRAPPERS

CLEVELAND SCRAPPERS The Cleveland Scrappers is a 501(c)3 non-profit beep baseball team for the blind and visually impaired. We are always looking for volunteers!

Our funding is essential for our program to be able to provide our service to those who are blind and visually impaired. A majority of those who are sight challenged would not be able to afford the costs associated with full participation in the sport of Beep Baseball. The Cleveland Scrappers is a non-profit program providing persons who are blind or visually impaired the opportunity to participat

e in the adapted form of baseball, known as Beep Baseball. The ball "beeps," the bases "buzz" and the players are blind folded. The Cleveland Scrappers are a part of the National Beep Baseball Association (NBBA) and this sport allows people of all ages who are blind or visually impaired to play ball with honor and dignity. Players:
The league is open to people of all ages who are blind or visually impaired. We use sighted volunteers as coaches, pitchers, catchers, spotters, drivers, umpires, fundraisers, and more!

We were just recently made aware of the passing of Jo Kozak. She worked in public relations for the Cleveland Sight Center and helped the Scrappers with the World Series hosted in Cleveland in 2001. Her daughter and son-in-law Paula and Bruce were dedicated volunteers that helped us with the concession stand fundraisers that we worked at Indians and Browns games Years ago. On a personal note, Jo was how I got connected with the Cleveland Scrappers. I was at the CSC for an unrelated event and she came over to me and started talking to me about beep baseball. She talked me into adopting a ball and Coming to check out the World Series in Strongsville. She introduced me to the team at the World Series and I started playing the next year. I’m sure that is just one of the many connections that Jo made that transform lives. Our deepest appreciation to her for all that she has done and sympathies to her family.
