摘要
臺灣盲人棒球運動推廣至今13年，參與者（視障者與明眼人）人數沒有明顯成長，還有減少的傾向。發展停滯、阻礙叢生的現象，來自於場地設備缺乏、交通不方便以及社會支助短缺等，影響盲棒運動在視障者的運動生活圈中推展極為不易之原因。而本文主要在剖析美國成功推展盲棒的經驗，從中獲得有助於臺灣盲棒未來推展的方針，並發展出突破推展困擾之有效策略，加速推動盲棒運動，使其不僅是視障者參與的活動，也可鼓勵其家人一起走出戶外，讓社會大眾了解運動帶給盲人的喜悅，更了解盲棒運動為社會帶來的實質效益。盲棒運動可作為盲人與明眼人互相信任的媒介，養成盲人規律運動習慣，減少社會醫療資源付出，培養個人健康的身心，讓社會更祥和，運動人權更為平等。

The blind baseball sport has been developed for thirteen years in Taiwan. The participators (include visual impairments and sighted) did not increase but decrease. The lack of the field and equipments and the inconvenient traffic were contributed to the decreased participation. This study was aimed to review the successful experience in American and try to find the efficacious guiding principle to improve the situation in Taiwan. Not only the visual impairments but their family can be encouraged to do the outdoor activities. The blind baseball sport can be the bridge between visual impairments and sighted, and train up the regular exercise habits. Then, everyone can be equaled.
