The game is going on，yet you can hear a needle drop in the stands.No one makes a sound out of fear they'll distract the players defending their bases（壘）because the players need to me their hearing to know when the opposing player is running toward them.Once the batter hits a base with their hand，the crowd erupts in applause.These people are playing beep baseball，an adapted version of baseball.
The game has been around for decades.Beep baseball uses sounds in place of sight to make the game accessible to the visually weakened.There are only three bases，home，first and third，and they stand 4 to 5 feet tall.After the batter hits the ball，the bases start to beep so runners can follow the sound to the base.The catcher and the pitcher（投手）are the only sighted players on the team.The six other players are all visually weakened，plus they wear sleep shades or dark glasses to rid any advantage for those with some level of vision.
Beep baseball is an innovative approach to America's pastime that makes it accessible for everyone. "Usually as a visually-weakened person，you're sitting on the sidelines and just cheering on，because you don't have the chance to play basketball，or play football，but now that I've found this sport.I'm included，" said Jason Esterhuizen，a player who lost his vision in a car accident 11 years ago.Jason is a member of the Pasadena Panthers，a beep baseball team in California that made it to the National Beep Baseball World Series in 2022.The team traveled to Beaumont，Texas to participate in the event.
According to the City of Beaumont，Texas，the World Series includes 37 learns throughout the United States，Canada，and the Dominican Republic，The World Series gives all teams the opportunity to meet and compete.How have we not heard of this amazing modification of the traditional American sport until now？Beep baseball is such a simple concept，but it means so much to people who have been refused from traditional sports for so long!

2．Playing sports is a lot of fun．Getting hurt is not．
（1）
Wear protective equipment．
The equipment you wear depends on the sport you play．Helmets（頭盔） are the most common protective equipment．They protect your head while you're playing football，baseball，softball，biking，skateboarding，and so on．
Warm up．
（2）Doing some stretching（伸展）can get you prepared to hit the field．By warming up，you get yourself ready to play．Warming up your muscles and practicing a sport help keep you safe，too．
Know the rules of the games．
Traffic lights help prevent crashes between the many cars that drive on the roads together．This works because drivers know the rules and follow them-at least most of the time．
（3）When players know the rules of the game，fewer injuries happen．For example，you know that in soccer you can't come from behind，crash into a player's legs，and steal the ball．It's legal-and safer-to go after the ball rather than the player．
（4）
Some rules don't have anything to do with scoring points．Some rules are just about protecting other people．For example，a diver would make sure that the pool was clear before diving in．Otherwise，he or she might land on someone else．
（5）
This is a really important one．If you love sports，you may get right back in the game，even after an injury．But playing when you're hurt is a bad idea．It can lead to an even worse injury．

B．Don't do too much exercise．
C．It's the same way with sports．
