ALBERT BELLE Cleveland Indians 1989-96 Chicago White Sox 1997-98 Baltimore Orioles 1999-2000 "I am not going to change my personality because someone wants me to." To his detractors, Albert Belle was Mike Tyson in cleats. To his fans, he was misunderstood and given a bad rap by the media. What gets lost in the argument about his personality and forgotten because his career ended so abruptly, is that Belle was one of the most feared hitters in major league history. Born Albert Jojuan Belle on August 25, 1966 in Shreveport, LA, he became an Eagle Scout as a youngster. The son of school teachers, he graduated 4th in his high school class and attended nearby Louisiana State University (LSU). Known at the time as Joey (short for Jojuan), Belle set several school records at LSU before a behavioral related suspension cost him a chance to play in the College World Series. Despite concerns about his attitude and rumors about his character, the Cleveland Indians selected the troubled prodigy in the second round of the 1987 amateur draft. Belle debuted with the Indians on July 15, 1989, and appeared in 62 games that season, hitting 7 homeruns in 218 at bats.

Extractions: William "Dummy" Hoy threw out three base runners at home plate in one game while playing outfield for the Washington Nationals in 1889. No Major League Baseball player has accomplished the feat since. But it wasn't only that exploit that made Dummy Hoy a special baseball player. He also was deaf and mute. It was for Hoy that umpire Bill Klem first employed the hand gestures used to this day to signal balls and strikes. Klem is enshrined in the baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y But Hoy, an accomplished player for 14 big-league seasons, is not. His absence angers deaf activists, who gathered recently in Washington to lobby for Hoy. They call their mission "Dummy pride." It is part of deaf heritage," says Randy Fisher, founder and chairman of the Committee for William "Dummy" Hoy, an affiliate of the American Athletic Association of the Deaf Inc. "What Jackie Robinson did for the color barrier, Dummy Hoy did for the sound barrier." Fisher, who is deaf and signs through an interpreter when addressing the press, adds that Hoy deserves a plaque in Cooperstown based on his skills not just his achievement of overcoming a handicap. "The statistics prove it."

Focus On Fostoria Well, one day dummy hoy, the Senator center fielder, waltzed into the Treasury hoywas an interesting character He played major league baseball from 1888 to 1902 http://www.fostoria.org/history/skonecki/2003/Nov_23b_03.html
Extractions: By Leonard Skonecki Charles Foster was quite a guy. Three years before Rome and Risdon united to become Fostoria in 1854, he was mayor of Rome. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, governor of Ohio and secretary of the Treasury under President Benjamin Harrison. He was a merchant, banker and philanthropist. Fostoria was named for his father. Did you know the on top of all that Calico Charlie was a rabid baseball fan? I was rifling through some issues of Sporting Life from 1892. Why was I doing that? Simple. My life lacks proper direction. But that's a different problem. Back to Calico Charlie and baseball. According to the Aug. 27, 1892 issue of Sporting Life, Foster was pals with quite a few of the old Washington Senators of the National League back in those long ago times. Sporting Life was a national sports publication from 1883 to 1917, much like Sports Illustrated today. It covered cycling, billiards, football and track and field, but its primary interest was baseball, as it should be.

Extractions: The late Stephen Jay Gould was a man of strong opinionsand not just about evolutionary theory and paleontology, the subjects of fine books of his such as Ever Since Darwin and Wonderful Life. Just get him going on baseball, as readers of his long-running monthly column in Natural History magazine will remember, and sparks would fly. The sport has had few more learned and literate fans than Gould, who brings his best to these pieces. Celebrating triumphs and mourning tragedies on and off the diamond, this book makes just the right companion for the new season, and for the seasons to come. Gregory McNamee

Extractions: American Sign Language Arts and Sports Contemporary Issues Technology and Assistive Devices Feedback "Today, I am amazed at how times and things are changing for Deaf people. I believe that at least some of the impetus for change can be attributed to such things as NTD (National Theater of the Deaf) and Children (the play Children of a Lesser God by Mark Medoff) for their ability to demonstrate to the world the beauty of sign language and the dignity of Deaf people - that there is no better way to change people's attitudes than through the arts." Phyllis Frelich The past fifty years have been witness to an increasing variety of opportunities and modes for creative expression by and for the Deaf community. Plays written by and for Deaf individuals about their experiences continue to gain acceptance by mainstream audiences. The play and subsequent movie based on Mark Medoff's Children of a Lesser God is one example. Marlee Matlin became the first deaf actress to win an Oscar Award for her performance in this movie in 1987 following in the footsteps of Phyllis Frelich's Tony Award-winning performance of 1980.

Triumph And Tragedy In Mudville: A Lifelong Passion For Baseball diverse as a lengthy tribute to THE AMAZING dummy (about both the often overlookedexploits of dummy hoy and also the role of nicknames in baseball) and FREUD http://www.earth-religions.com/Triumph_and_Tragedy_in_Mudville_A_Lifelong_Passio
Extractions: One of the best pieces in the book is actually the introduction by David Halberstam, a good friend of Goulds, a fellow intellectual, and an ardent baseball fan himself. It is literally the perfect bookend for the last selection in the book, a wonderful reprint of a long piece in the NEW YORK REVIEW OF BOOKS which manages to incorporate a meaningful summary review of ten diverse baseball biographies into a discussion of the elemental attraction of baseball, the parallel changes in the sport and our culture while mixing grandiose generalizations with little known facts. In between these two marvelous selections are pieces as diverse as a lengthy tribute to THE AMAZING DUMMY (about both the often overlooked exploits of Dummy Hoy and also the role of nicknames in baseball) and FREUD AT THE BALLPARK, a very brief piece about how the author finally came to terms years later with the loss of the 1955 subway series by his beloved Yankees to the hated Brooklyn Dodgers.
Extractions: Previous Columns Cooperstown Confidential - Regular Season Edition Pride In Pinstripes Perhaps we take for granted that a player like Pride has been able to forge a journeyman career in the major leagues and a solid career in the minors despite playing with only a small percentage of his hearing. Yet, we shouldnt take make the mistake of assuming that deafness is only a nuisance in the path toward the big leagues; just try playing a game of softball with cotton stuffed into both of your ears and feel the short-term havoc it plays with your equilibrium. Making the major leagues is tough enough; making the major leagues without complete use of one of your primary senses is downright laudatoryand testament to a players will and dedication to the game. For that, Curtis Pride deserves an added helping of respect. Although Pride is one of a handful of deaf players to make the climb to the majors, he is not the first deaf player in big league historyand not the most famous either. Both of those honors belong to 19th century legend William Dummy Hoy (unfortunately, Dummy was a commonly used nickname for players during the games early history). Both determined and athletic, Hoy not only overcame a lack of hearing but also proved that being 54 and 148 pounds doesnt necessarily exclude one from professional success on the ballfield. Hoys lack of size and absence of hearing discouraged major league teams from giving him a shot until he was 26, but the hardworking Hoy made up for his late start by collecting over 2,000 hits, batting .288, and playing a terrific center field (including one game when he threw out three runners at the plate). Some historians consider Hoy a player of sufficient quality to merit consideration for the Hall of Fame.
