William Ellsworth Hoy

A picture of Dummy Hoy
My favorite historical figure from Deaf History is one of the least known - even in his own field. His name is William Ellsworth Hoy. He was often called "Dummy" Hoy. He is the first Deaf Person to have a successful career in Major League Baseball. Hoy play from 1886 to 1902. According to many sources (online, encyclopedias, the tour guides at the Legends of the Game Museum, Arlington, TX), Hoy changed the game of baseball because of his style of play and his passion for the game.
