I See The Crowd Roar: The Story of William Dummy Hoy

William Hoy:
It is not enough that the deaf candidate for baseball honors has the necessary ability. He assuredly must have the nerve and the courage to apply for a trial.

William Hoy:
The deaf candidate must use tact and diplomacy when negotiating terms. He must so conduct respect to his teammates, both on and off the field.

William Hoy:
While this dream of an all-mute baseball team will hardly come true in the immediate future there is room, nevertheless, for a mute or two in the big leagues now. It only remains for them to come boldly forward and make a try.

Joan Sampson:
As the oldest living member of the Hoy family, my hope is that my grandfather, Dummy Hoy, will be remembered; not just because he was a deaf ball player, but because he was a great ball player and a great human being.
