May 23: William “Dummy” Hoy

Transcript Today we remember Deaf Major League Baseball player William “Dummy” Hoy who’s credited with helping to popularize the use of hand signals in baseball. ---- Hello and welcome to the Disability Daily Podcast! I’m your host, Katie, and over the past couple years, I’ve worked on a 365-day calendar that recognizes different folks and key moments in disability history each day of the year. I’m turning this into a quick daily podcast, and I’m excited to share this with you!
