2011 Beep Baseball World Series

In 1964, the first softball with an audio tone was designed by Mountain Bell employee Charlie Fairbanks.  Over the years, the design was improved, the Beep Ball game was born and in 1972 Pioneers began to manufacture the audio balls. 

In March of 1976, the National Beep Baseball Association (NBBA) was formed and the first World Series of Beep Baseball was planned.  Today, the NBBA manages the annual Beep Baseball World Series, which brings together blind athletes from all across the world to compete in the game.  Pioneers volunteer their time and talents to the local tournaments and the World Series and adopt beep balls.  The Qwest Pioneers manufacture and sell the beep balls and the ball chargers.  This year, the World Series is being held in Indianapolis, Indiana, July 31- August 6th.
