William Ellsworth Hoy amaba el beisbol sobre todo lo demás. Cuando le dijeron que era muy pequeño para el equipo de su escuela, no dejó que nada lo detuviera, practicó hasta ser lo suficientemente bueno como para jugar en las grandes ligas! Ser sordo en las grandes ligas no fue fácil, ya que poca gente usaba el lenguaje de señas en la década de 1880. A William se le dificultaba leer los labios en el campo de juego y algunos jugadores lo intentaban confundir. Pero tampoco dejó que eso lo detuviera. William les enseñó a los ampáyeres a hacer señas de mano para que pudiera ver todas las decisiones, y entonces realmente comenzó a anotar! Descubre como Dummy Hoy se convirtió en uno de los más grandes y amados jugadores de su época al hacer del beisbol un mejor juego.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
William Ellsworth Hoy loved baseball more than anything. When he was told he was too short for his school team, he wouldn't let that stop him--he practiced and became good enough to play in the major leagues! Being deaf in the major leagues wasn't easy, since few people used sign language in the 1880s. William had a hard time reading lips on the field and some players tried to trick him. But he wouldn't let that stop him either. William taught the umpires hand signals so he could see the calls, and then he really started to score! Discover how Dummy Hoy became one of the greatest and most beloved players of his time as he made baseball a better game.
