"The Blind Man in the Bleachers" is a single written by Sterling Whipple[2] and famously performed by American singer David Geddes.

His version, titled "The Last Game of the Season (A Blind Man in the Bleachers)", reached number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1975.

[3] That same year it was covered by country music artist Kenny Starr, appearing on his album The Blind Man in the Bleachers.

The song is a salute to high school football and focuses on a junior varsity football player (who rarely, if ever sees action in varsity games) and his father, a blind man who sits next to the press box – where the speaker is located.

At halftime, with several players injured, the boy takes an emergency phone call and is late to the field.
