Hoy, one of 29 players to play in four major leagues, was a regular until his last season. He began with perennially bad Washington, jumped to the Players' League for its one season (1890), and had his first experience with a winning team playing for the Browns (AA) in 1891. When the AA folded, he was returned to Washington, but the Ohio native joined Cincinnati for 1894. After two seasons with the feeble Louisville franchise, he left the majors for the new Chicago White Sox of the American League . He remained with the team in 1901, the AL's first major league season. He closed out his major league career with one last season in Cincinnati in 1902, but hung on for another year with Los Angeles ( Pacific Coast League ), playing all of the team's 211 games and stealing 46 bases at the age of 42. He lived longer than any major league player before him, which earned him the honor of throwing out the first ball of Game Three of the 1961

Hoy was deafened at age 2 and attended the Ohio School for the Deaf. He played professional baseball for several teams in the major leagues from 1888 to 1902, including the Cincinnati Reds, the Washington Senators, and the Chicago White Sox. One of Hoy’s biggest claims to fame is the credit he has received for inventing the hand signals used by umpires. He asked the umpires to raise their right arm to signify a strike and their left arm to signify a ball. Additional hand signals still used today in baseball and softball—like the signals for "out" and "safe"—can also be attributed to Hoy. In 1961, at the age of 99, Hoy threw out the ceremonial first pitch to open the World Series between the Cincinnati Reds and the New York Yankees. Two months later, he passed away.

6. Thedailystar.com - Local News Article on one group's efforts to get dummy hoy elected into the National baseball Hall of Fame. http://www.thedailystar.com/news/stories/1998/07/27/ogdeaf.html

Monday, July 27, 1998 Classifieds Community News Contacts Our Locale ... Sports Advocates for the deaf want hall to get the sign Owen S. Good Cooperstown News Bureau The signals were sign language, more graceful than the cap-touching and belly-rubbing that goes on at the top dugout step, and Carrie Blakesley was using it to relate the Baseball Hall of Fame's Induction Ceremony to a group of about 30 deaf baseball fans Sunday. Blakesley, a sign-language teacher from Albany, signed most of the proceedings for the group, which was attending the ceremonies to lobby for the election of a deaf 19th-century ballplayer to the hall of fame. She saw the signs and flyers in support of William "Dummy" Hoy and volunteered her time. "They were disappointed that there wasn't an interpreter out here," said Blakesley. "I told them before I'm not up on baseball terms (in sign language) so there would be a lot of finger-spelling." Many in the group to whom Blakesley was signing were with a Rochester-based committee seeking credit for Hoy, who played from 1888 to 1902 and easily had the greatest career of a seriously-handicapped player. Bob Panara, leader of the American Athletic Association for the Deaf's Committee for Dummy Hoy, said the group had spoken to hall officials about getting a sign-language interpreter or closed-captioning for the video screen by the main stage. Panara, who is deaf, signed through an interpreter that his group distributed flyers touting Hoy before last year's ceremony, but was asked to stop this year. They waved signs from an area to the left of the main stage as this year's inductees accepted their plaques.

2003 Season Interviews Photo Albums Stars In Their Time ... Archives Featured Writers James Floto Bob Brigham Ken Haag David Marasco ... Sign Our Guestbook DUMMY HOY Stats from www.baseball-reference.com Dummy Hoy chose baseball as a career in 1885 because, as an amateur playing for his hometown Findlay, Ohio, team, he got four hits against a professional pitcher. He figured playing ball for a living would be easy money. Well, if you want to call $60 a month "easy money," it would have been. That is what the Northwestern League Milwaukee Brewers offered the barehanded catcher after he had impressed them in a try-out. Although Hoy had no pro experience, he had sufficient respect for his talents to consider the offer an insult. He heard nearby Oshkosh needed an outfielder, so he asked for a try-out there. Center field was his natural position, and the Oshkosh people quickly saw that he was a quality player. Nearly as quickly, the Brewers saw their error and dispatched a representative to counter-offer the $75 a month Oshkosh had agreed to pay Hoy with one of $85. One can imagine the young man from Ohio, sitting across the table from the Milwaukee representative pushing a note pad back and forth between them. "How about $85 a month?," the Brewers' man scribbled.

A capsule biography Hoy was a small man, 5'4" or 5'5" tall, weighing 145-155 pounds, probably the shortest major-league outfielder in history. What he lacked in heft, he made up for in cunning and swiftness. He was a celebrated “flyhawk,” a great centerfielder, on a par with Joe DiMaggio, Willie Mays, and Tris Speaker. During his rookie year in the majors (1888), Hoy led the National League with 82 stolen bases, a record that tops those of some of the most celebrated Hall of Famers. (Ty Cobb stole no bases during his rookie year, Babe Ruth 10.) His career total: 597 to 607 stolen bases (depending on which account you read). before Klem began his umpiring career.
