William Ellsworth "Dummy" Hoy was a figure in the Deaf community. His first Major League Baseball team: Washington Nationals in 1888. He was National League stolen base leader that year as a rookie. 130 years ago, Hoy set a Major League record by throwing out three runners at home plate in a single game.

From 1888 to 1920, the records kept breaking as in career putouts (3,958) and total chances (4,625) as an outfielder. Also, one of those leaders recognized in outfield games (2nd, 1,795). There are few other records as well. It is a feat that is rarely seen in professional sports.

He played for nine teams including Washington Senators, who were often recognized as the Nationals from 1892 to 1899. His career batting average: .288, Hits: 2,044. Run batted in: 725 and Stolen bases: 607.

His presence in District of Columbia cannot be defined greater. It is also home to the world's only higher education of the Deaf community: Gallaudet University. There were many past and present Deaf a citizen who looks up to Dummy Hoy because we talk about him all the time.

Early in life of these Deaf children, story begins to create and shape their layered inner richness as human beings. It develops as understanding of their language and cultural heritage and an interest in exploring the intersectionality of human heritage generally. Story installs a respect for the complexities of thought, and help William Ellsworth "Dummy" Hoy appreciate the starling unity of concerns across historical, social, political, geographical, and linguistic boundaries.

Ultimately, story can add to the fill development of one's potential by leading one to an ongoing questioning and curiosity about Deaf culture generally, an ability to make aesthetic and moral distinctions, a sophistication about emotional development, and a recognition and perhaps re-evaluation of one's personal convictions about Deaf people.

Storytelling is the most powerful means by which values of Deaf culture are passed on. These beliefs and attitudes are not easily changed, for they become the very terms by which we perceive ourselves, the world around us, the condition of our social consciousness. Since the formation of Deaf professional baseball player like William Ellsworth "Dummy" Hoy's identity is tied so crucially with Deaf community and the stories that both mirror and perpetuate that language and culture, then our responsibility to understand stories is indeed important if we are to be committed to recognize Hoy's feat as a treasure.

For the first time in Washington Nationals' history, the baseball club has been crowded as the World Series champions in 2019. District of Columbia is home to the largest Deaf community in the world. There are countless of Deaf fans that showed up for baseball games including 2019 World Series. I am one of them.

The baseball stadium has bronze statues of Walter Johnson, Josh Gibson, and Frank Howard. As Frank Howard became the second Black player to be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Hoy became the third Deaf player in the Major Leagues, and the FIRST Deaf player for Washington Nationals. He is way well qualified for National Baseball Hall of Fame by near and far.

I propose a bronze statue of William Ellsworth "Dummy" Hoy to be recognized on Washington Nationals' baseball stadium because he was the pioneer as the first Deaf player to play for Washington Nationals. His presence in the Deaf community taught in storytelling should help future Deaf citizens retain broad and deep perspectives. Not only that, but his presence help aid Deaf citizens in believability in developing their own philosophy of life.

A Bronze statute of William Ellsworth "Dummy" Hoy is the art of transformation. The stories of Hoy exist to transform Deaf community from ignorance to a state of enlightenment. It would mean a lot for the Deaf community. District of Columbia is the hub of Deaf academia, the Deaf center of the Deaf world. That is where it has been training many of our future leaders of the Deaf.

William Ellsworth "Dummy" Hoy is best example. Working together, we are certain that we will make a real difference in Deaf community to recognize Hoy's feat and that we will bend of the human appreciation toward the Deaf community and the Washington Nationals organization to bring us closer to Hoy's presence and vision for Baseball America as well as Deaf America. He was a world champion for the Deaf community.

Congrats, Washington Nationals for its first World Series championship!
