You may already be aware of this book by Darryl Brock, which takes a fictionalized look at Dummy Taylor.
(from Amazon.com)
In 1911, Luther "Dummy" Taylor, an aging deaf pitcher longing to get back to the major leagues, approaches his old boss John McGraw of the New York Giants for a chance to play. McGraw takes him along on an exhibition team that visits Cuba, a country still simmering with hatred stirred up by the Spanish-American War.
It's a fun read, one of three baseball themed books by Darryl.
