William Ellsworth Hoy amaba el beisbol sobre todo lo dem�s. Cuando le dijeron que era muy peque�o para el equipo de su escuela, no dej� que nada lo detuviera, practic� hasta ser lo suficientemente bueno como para jugar en las grandes ligas! Ser sordo en las grandes ligas no fue f�cil, ya que poca gente usaba el lenguaje de se�as en la d�cada de 1880. A William se le dificultaba leer los labios en el campo de juego y algunos jugadores lo intentaban confundir. Pero tampoco dej� que eso lo detuviera. William les ense�� a los amp�yeres a hacer se�as de mano para que pudiera ver todas las decisiones, y entonces realmente comenz� a anotar! Descubre como Dummy Hoy se convirti� en uno de los m�s grandes y amados jugadores de su �poca 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.
