Deaf Baseball Players?

Thought this was funny...I found three deaf payers in the draft pool, two of which are teammates.

(I'll probably select all three with my last three picks if they're still available)

Not sure if you have scouting turned on or not. But Alan Martin looks like he could be a useful player in terms of getting on base.

Yeah, I'd be happy to draft Martin. And he comes with the advantage that hecklers won't be able to rattle him.

Curtis Pride, Dummy Hoy, Dummy Taylor come to mind.

Legend has it that the umpire's hand/arm motions to call a strike were for the benefit of a deaf player.

At a certain point guys, you just have to use your imagination. Or just the storylines. Can't have every pet little thing hardcoded when there are like real baseball things that could use attention every year.

IIRC, someone compiled a comprehensive list of American high schools to add to the game and these schools just happened to be among them. Can't have high school feeders without a database of high schools to pull from, right?
