When the World Series starts tonight, keep your eyes on St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Jason Motte. Why? Motte isn’t blind, but his nearsightedness is so severe that he often squints on the mound to see what signs his catcher is showing him. Motte has tried prescription eyewear (as pictured), but has found the challenges they present greater than those presented by his nearsightedness. So, Motte has decided to take to the mound without any vision assistance, and, judging by this Yahoo! Sports article, it seems to be working.
The World Series will be played between the Cardinals and the Texas Rangers, with Game 1 tonight in St. Louis at 8:05 p.m. (ET).
