The Eyes Free Sports Podcast: Ep. 106 – Visiting with the Sirens Beep Baseball Club, an All-Female Beep Ball Team
In Episode 106 of the Eyes Free Sports podcast, we visit with six members of the Sirens beep baseball team, the first-ever beep ball club made up entirely of female players. The team is based in the St. Louis, MO area but has players from around the U.S. We are joined by players Kim Blumenthal, Corey Turner, Amy Sweigard, and Whitney Marin, along with coaches Kassondra McDaniel and Neal “Dawg” McDonald.
During the conversation, they discussed how the team was started, the many benefits of an all-female team, how they performed at the 2023 National Beep Baseball Association (NBBA) World Series, and their goals for the future.
