This is one of my favorite baseball movies. Dummy Hoy was inducted into the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame in 2003.
Hoy is the most accomplished deaf player in MLB history, and is credited by some sources with causing the establishment of signals for safe and out calls.
Hoy is one of three outfielders to throw out three base runners at home plate in one game. On June 19, 1889, he threw perfect strikes to catcher Connie Mack to throw out runners attempting to score from second base.
Upon his death in 1961 at the age of 99, Hoy was the longest-lived former MLB player ever.
At the time of his death, Dummy Hoy was the last surviving participant of both the American Association and the Players' League.
