Description | A Springfield, IL newspapers reported how a blind man of Charlestown had his eyesight restored when he was hit by a ball. "He was standing on the steps of the Court House, in that village, while a number of boys and men were playing ball. The ball, projected with great force, struck him on the blind eye, completely removing the film and restoring his sight." White the nature of the ball game being played isn't specified, the mention of the force suggests that he was hit by a baseball. |
Sources | The Sangamo Journal, July 11, 1855, citing a Ravenna, Ohio newspaper |
