Baseball field to be named for William ‘Dummy’ Hoy
Gallaudet will dedicate its baseball field to deaf baseball legend William "Dummy" Hoy at an April 8 ceremony. Hoy was deafened at age 2 and attended the Ohio School for the Deaf. He played professional baseball for several teams in the major leagues from 1888 to 1902, including the Cincinnati Reds, the Washington Senators, and the Chicago White Sox. One of Hoy’s biggest claims to fame is the credit he has received for inventing the hand signals used by umpires. He asked the umpires to raise their right arm to signify a strike and their left arm to signify a ball. Additional hand signals still used today in baseball and softball—like the signals for "out" and "safe"—can also be attributed to Hoy. In 1961, at the age of 99, Hoy threw out the ceremonial first pitch to open the World Series between the Cincinnati Reds and the New York Yankees. Two months later, he passed away.

Advocates for the deaf want hall to get the sign
Owen S. Good
Cooperstown News Bureau
The signals were sign language, more graceful than the cap-touching and belly-rubbing that goes on at the top dugout step, and Carrie Blakesley was using it to relate the Baseball Hall of Fame's Induction Ceremony to a group of about 30 deaf baseball fans Sunday.
Blakesley, a sign-language teacher from Albany, signed most of the proceedings for the group, which was attending the ceremonies to lobby for the election of a deaf 19th-century ballplayer to the hall of fame. She saw the signs and flyers in support of William "Dummy" Hoy and volunteered her time.
"They were disappointed that there wasn't an interpreter out here," said Blakesley. "I told them before I'm not up on baseball terms (in sign language) so there would be a lot of finger-spelling."
Many in the group to whom Blakesley was signing were with a Rochester-based committee seeking credit for Hoy, who played from 1888 to 1902 and easily had the greatest career of a seriously-handicapped player. Bob Panara, leader of the American Athletic Association for the Deaf's Committee for Dummy Hoy, said the group had spoken to hall officials about getting a sign-language interpreter or closed-captioning for the video screen by the main stage.
Panara, who is deaf, signed through an interpreter that his group distributed flyers touting Hoy before last year's ceremony, but was asked to stop this year. They waved signs from an area to the left of the main stage as this year's inductees accepted their plaques.

DUMMY HOY
Stats from www.baseball-reference.com
Dummy Hoy chose baseball as a career in 1885 because, as an amateur playing for his hometown Findlay, Ohio, team, he got four hits against a professional pitcher. He figured playing ball for a living would be easy money. Well, if you want to call $60 a month "easy money," it would have been. That is what the Northwestern League Milwaukee Brewers offered the barehanded catcher after he had impressed them in a try-out. Although Hoy had no pro experience, he had sufficient respect for his talents to consider the offer an insult. He heard nearby Oshkosh needed an outfielder, so he asked for a try-out there. Center field was his natural position, and the Oshkosh people quickly saw that he was a quality player. Nearly as quickly, the Brewers saw their error and dispatched a representative to counter-offer the $75 a month Oshkosh had agreed to pay Hoy with one of $85. One can imagine the young man from Ohio, sitting across the table from the Milwaukee representative pushing a note pad back and forth between them. "How about $85 a month?," the Brewers' man scribbled.
