What to Expect
The game
The Boston Renegades will be playing against Adaptive Sports New England’s Boston Strong. This will be the first time in the stadium’s storied history that two teams of blind baseball players will play in America’s past time! We expect the game to begin around 1:00 and for the event to end between 3:00- 3:30 PM. The Boston Renegades were established in 2000 and are the first beep baseball team and the first team sport for blind adults in all of New England. The Boston Strong are comprised of both adults and children and were established in 2021.
Come support your Boston Renegades as they kick off the 2024 season. Coming off seven consecutive top five finishes, the Renegades are returning their entire player roster from 2023 with a few new additions. The Renegades feature three former league MVP’s in Guy Zuccarello (2013), Christian Thaxton (2017) and Joe McCormick (2022) and one of the biggest rosters in the league who love to play this game and show the passion of Renegades beep baseball! The Renegades are the only team from the East Coast to ever have two top three finishes (2016 &2019) and are hungry to make 2024 their third trip to the top of the league.
