RE: Deaf Players of the Early 1900s Had a Big Impact on Baseball
Very interesting article! Thanks.
I think baseball is one of the few sports where a deaf player could actually excel. There is not much verbal communication required, players rely more on "sign language" from the coaching staff. Also, not being able to hear could be a benefit as you would not have to endure the crowd noise or trash talking opponents (just a thought).
Yes, it seems quite possible. Audible calls can be more important in some other sports.
