Orioles to don Braille-lettered jerseys Tuesday
BALTIMORE -- On Tuesday, the Orioles are doing something special for their fans without sight -- they'll become the first team in professional sports to incorporate Braille lettering into their game day uniforms.
"Orioles" and the players' last names will be spelled out in Braille, and the first 15,000 fans to attend the 7:05 p.m. ET game against the Blue Jays will receive a Braille alphabet card.
It's all in honor of the 40th anniversary of the National Federation of the Blind moving its headquarters to Baltimore. The organization was established in 1940.
