RE: Deaf Players of the Early 1900s Had a Big Impact on Baseball

in #history7 years ago

Wow... Although baseball isn't popular in the Philippines, somehow I'm very interested in it. And it's just so amazing how these deaf players from the 1900s contributed to the world of baseball... :) I'm personally interested in the hand signs that the catcher gives to the pitcher. I think, the "battery" would always be the core of the game, but of course... the core wouldn't be able to move forward without the other players. Everyone has his vital role in the game, no matter the disability... If you really want something, you can definitely do it!! ^^ I want to watch baseball live someday... hihi ^^ Thanks for sharing.. would love to read the book/novel you mentioned above, too... ^^

Funny you mention baseball in the Philippines. Where I live in Calbayog City (Samar), we have a department store that carries baseballs, softballs, bats, gloves, etc... and we don't have a baseball field for hundreds of kilometers that I know of!

For real???? Haven't seen any baseball stuff in Cebu... T_T I'd love to at least practice pitching or batting.. hahaha xDDD it'd be awesome to have even a batting center, but to no avail... T_T Nice to meet you here! ^^

Now I have half a mind to set-up what we used to call a "sand-lot" ball field in Calbayog City! I brought Ultimate Beach Frisbee to the city, might as well work on baseball!

That would be awesome... :) If you did, it might even influence some parts of Cebu... and I can finally try playing or watch people playing it!!! hihihi ^^

Still working on bringing Outdoor Racquetball here... having a difficult time generating any interest!

Racquetball is somehow interesting, too... But I don't see any indoor/outdoor racquetball place here, either.. xD

None! But like I said, I'm working on it. Check out my latest post and help me out by resteeming! Thanks!!!!!

Great... sure.. Will check it out! ^^
