Our journey from a fledgling team to clinching a spot in the 2016 title game and securing numerous top-five finishes is unparalleled. Indeed, until now, no other team on the East Coast—or in the history of beep baseball—has mirrored our staggering achievements.

Hear It from Our Players

Our athletes’ testimonies speak volumes about the life-changing impact of our volunteers:

“In a world where blind people are often expected to do less than their capabilities by society, the Boston Renegades family and the coaches have brought the opposite mentality, the expectation has always been to get the most out of every player both on and off the field.

Because of this and because I am expected to do more, I do more, and I make sure that as high of expectations that are set for me by the coaches, I expect every bit as much out of myself.” 

                                                                                                     –   Shayne Cantan

 

“I cannot say enough great things about the wonderful individuals that make what we do possible. Without their dedication and time playing this sport would not be possible. It takes a very special type of person to continue to do what they do on and off the field. Assisting with rides, travel, food, coaching etc. is just amazing.

I’m so thankful that our volunteers take time away from their families and friends just to help us out! They make a difference in so many lives. I cannot thank them enough for their dedication to us players and the team as a whole.”
