Extractions: Hoy, one of 29 players to play in four major leagues, was a regular until his last season. He began with perennially bad Washington, jumped to the Players' League for its one season (1890), and had his first experience with a winning team playing for the Browns (AA) in 1891. When the AA folded, he was returned to Washington, but the Ohio native joined Cincinnati for 1894. After two seasons with the feeble Louisville franchise, he left the majors for the new Chicago White Sox of the American League . He remained with the team in 1901, the AL's first major league season. He closed out his major league career with one last season in Cincinnati in 1902, but hung on for another year with Los Angeles (

Extractions: Hoy was a small man, 5'4" or 5'5" tall, weighing 145-155 pounds, probably the shortest major-league outfielder in history. What he lacked in heft, he made up for in cunning and swiftness. He was a celebrated “flyhawk,” a great centerfielder, on a par with Joe DiMaggio, Willie Mays, and Tris Speaker. During his rookie year in the majors (1888), Hoy led the National League with 82 stolen bases, a record that tops those of some of the most celebrated Hall of Famers. (Ty Cobb stole no bases during his rookie year, Babe Ruth 10.) His career total: 597 to 607 stolen bases (depending on which account you read).

DR. HELEN TAUSSIG: "HES A LOVELY COLOR NOW!" dummy hoy A GREAT baseball PLAYER IN HIS TIME by Stan Griffin, Deaf FriendsInternational Special Contributor Photos courtesy of Gallaudet University http://www.workersforjesus.com/dfi/959.htm
Extractions: Photos courtesy of Gallaudet University Public Relations Office The latest honor accorded to William Ellsworth "Dummy" Hoy came on July 20, 2003 at Cincinnatis Great American Ball Park. He was inducted posthumously into the Reds Hall of Fame prior to a game between the Reds and San Francisco Giants. Hoy was a major league baseball player from 1886-1902, even though he was profoundly deaf. (He was only the second to reach the big leagues.) Appropriately, both sign language interpreters and "real-time captioning" was available, making the events at G. A. B. P. understandable and more enjoyable for hearing-impaired fans who attended. (R.T.C. converts spoken language into a visual text, like "close captioning" on television sets.) According to one version, it was Hoy who helped bring about the umpires system of hand signals. During a game, he asked the plate umpire to raise his right arm on strikes since he was unable to hear what was said. Umpires then began using hand signals in all of Hoys games. Gradually it became standard procedure for all batters in all games on "strikes," "balls," "safe" and "out" calls; and it remains so today. After his retirement from baseball in 1903, Hoy purchased a 60-acre dairy farm in Mt. Healthy, Ohio (near Cincinnati). He operated it for over 20 years. He worked at Goodyears Akron, Ohio plant as personnel director of their deaf factory workers. It was during his term of employment there that the citys "deaf colony" was at its "high-water mark"; they produced outstanding sports teams For a year, he coached the "Goodyear Silents," the plants baseball team. He and his family lived in the Cincinnati area for the latter part of their lives.

I Corinthians 1:27. Reprint from USA Today - May 6, 1987 "Umpires learned signs from 'Dummy.' It was a cruel nickname even for the times, but William Ellsworth 'Dummy' Hoy not only handled it and the hearing and speech handicap that prompted it, he excelled as a major league baseball player for fourteen years (1888-1902). Hoy is credited with inspiring umpire signals. Hoy was deaf and as a means of communicating with him the umpires began signaling or signing 'safe' and 'out.' A deaf man inspired the beginning of hand signals used in baseball. "William Ellsworth 'Dummy' Hoy's statistics were 2,054 hits, l,798 games, .288 batting average. These stats merit the Hall of Fame, but he also belongs in the Hall of Fame because 'This is the man who invented the umpires signals.' "It is encouraging to see what one deaf person can do! This one man did not let his handicap of deafness stop him. He played 14 years in professional baseball. He was just 5'4" tall and weighed only 148 pounds but he was a big man in baseball. He played for Washington, Cincinnati and Chicago in the National League. He died at the age of 99 in 1961." Just think of it, every time you see an umpire signal a call in the game, it started because of a deaf man. This man made a great difference in the world of sports.

Extractions: His life, all 99 1/2 years of it, tells perhaps one of the most classically American stories any of us have heard in a long time. William "Dummy" Hoy, deaf since age 3, was outside his Houcktown, Ohio, cobbler shop, as was his custom so many afternoons, throwing and chasing balls with the children of the town. A passer-by, recognizing his talent, invited him to come play a game with Findlay's baseball team in a town 12 miles away. Before long, Hoy was heading for Wisconsin in search of serious ball playing, promising his mother he'd be back in time to help fill fall shoe orders. The first deaf baseball player to play in the major leagues, Hoy played for several teams from 1886-1902 but had his longest stint with the Cincinnati Reds. Reds fans adored him, and he loved Cincinnati so much that he settled here with his wife and six children, buying a 60-acre dairy farm in Mount Healthy. He played 1,792 major league games, batted .288, had 2,054 hits and 597 stolen bases, and was the first outfielder to throw three runners out at the plate in the same game. In his earlier games, his success was particularly impressive because all calls were verbal, never heard by Hoy. In Oshkosh, Wis., early in his professional career, he asked a third-base coach to signal strikes and balls. That accommodation led to the signs flashed in the game today.
