    I get to go see a play!!! yeah!
    It is about Dummy Hoy, and he is not credited for it, but he was the reason we got all those hand signals for things like the Umpire and pitcher and catcher uses.
    Hoy was DEAF! :grin:
    He also had a lightning fast arm...and a great player.
    Two other men, hearing, got the glory, and they got a plaque in the Hall of Fame.
    But tomorrow night I get to see a play all about him.

    I love history, and baseball. Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, and all the never spoken about history too.

    Anybody else?
