Wow! Quite an interesting piece @donkeypong.
The game in the modern era has become quite demanding and technical.
I really wonder how the deaf players were able to deal with movement and relating with sounds on the pitch, given the importance of the ear as an organ of balance.
They really were amazing to have achieved such historical feats.

Good point. Most of them were pitchers, so they depended more on signs from the catcher than on sounds. In Luther Taylor's first game, five runners tried to steal bases on him and he threw all of them out. He then signaled the last one that he could hear them stealing.
Lolz......the runners must have been gobsmacked that he could figure out their moves. Luther Taylor, great guy.
Thanks for sharing @donkeypong
