Extractions: I t's been cold for too long. The snow is supposed to start flying again today. So let's think some warm, happy thoughts. How about baseball. Spring training gets underway in just 21/2 weeks. That means it's gotta warm up soon. Baseball came to the forefront last week when it was announced that Hancock County native Houcktown to be exact William Ellsworth "Dummy" Hoy will be inducted into the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame on August 3. Even though Hoy, who was given his nickname because he was deaf, was mentioned in the headline and the lead of the story, it would have been easy to overlook him since most of the story was written about George Foster. Hoy had two paragraphs at the end. Hoy, who played for the Reds from 1894-97 and again in 1902, is very deserving. He was inducted into the Ohio Baseball Hall of Fame on Aug. 13, 1992. But there is a group the Hoy Committee that is wanting more. The Hoy Committee has been pushing for Hoy to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. Hoy has the numbers, but has been always overlooked to this point by the Veteran's Committee, which would have to elect him to the hall.

Extractions: dlfleitz@wcnet.org Milt Gaston, 1896-1996. William (Dummy) Hoy, 1862-1961. P.S. The 1895 Cincinnati Reds were probably the longest-living team of all time. Four players, including Dummy Hoy, lived past 90, captain Bid McPhee lived to 83, and six other Reds passed their 70th birthdays. P.P.S. Who was the shortest-lived major league player? It was Jay Dahl, who was 17 years old when he pitched in one game for Houston in 1963. Dahl was killed in a car crash in 1965 at age 19. Ted "Double-Duty" Radcliffe, 1902-present. From 1876, when the National League was founded, to the present day, more than 14,000 men have played major league baseball. Since baseball is a sport that revels in statistical data about its players, there exists a wealth of information about almost all of those men. We know, with few exceptions, when and where they were born and when and where they died (unless they are still living). As far as research can tell, only ten of those 14,000 men have reached the age of 100.

Extractions: Curtis Pride Deaf Baseball player Curtis is currently the only professional (Major League) baseball player who is Deaf. He's not the first Deaf pro player, that'd be William "Dummy" Hoy, who, if you didn't already know this, is the reason for hand signals in baseball. Since Dummy Hoy couldn't hear the umpire, they started using hand signals which in turn helped out the other players out of earshot, and the fans in the stands...little history for yano charge. Right now there's a big push to get Mr. Hoy into the Baseball Hall of Famehope he makes it. Wait a minute this is supposed to be about Curtis. Curtis is an incredibly genuine young man who can run faster than a Ferrari. I met him when he came to NTID to make a motivational presentation to our studentshe was cool.

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.
