The first deaf baseball player joined the pro ranks in 1883. By
1901, four played in the major leagues, most notably outfielder
William "Dummy" Hoy and pitcher Luther "Dummy" Taylor. Along the
way, deaf players developed a distinctive approach, bringing visual
acuity and sign language the sport. They crossed paths with other
pioneers, including Moses Fleetwood Walker and Jackie Robinson.
This book recounts their great moments in the game, from the first
all-deaf barnstorming team to the only meeting of a deaf batter and
a deaf pitcher in a major league game. The true story-often
dismissed as legend-of Hoy, together with umpire "Silk" O'Loughlin,
bringing hand signals to baseball is told.
