When I received my DVD in the mail about legendary deaf baseball star Dummy Hoy, I was happy. After playing it in my DVD player, I was THRILLED to find out that the narrator was none other than our very own Roy Firestone !!! )

I did it about 4 years ago ...... an amazing story, and definitely worth acquiring ...... and I have no profit motive at all.

I got it for just a few dollars on ebay.

I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who has even the slightest interest in this very compelling story.

Here is something pretty freaky about Hoy.

Hoy is in the Cincinnati Reds Hall-of-Fame, as that is the team that he had his best years with when he played in the Majors in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

In 1961, at 99 years-old, Hoy threw out the First Ball of Game Three of the 1961 World Series between the Reds and the Yankees ...... and those 1961 Reds were led by their MVP star, Frank Robinson.

Wow. A ripe old age to be participating in that. I read that he died a couple months after this.

Firestone-related ........

 

I was listening to this video on my computer, and I heard that voice ........ and I didn't even need to see him, I just heard that voice ........ and sure enough, it was our very own Roy Firestone again.

 

 

This hour-and-a-half documentary is about Miami-Stadium, once home to the Baltimore Orioles' Florida State League affiliate (the Miami Orioles) from 1962 through 1988. It is called, White Elephant: What is there to Save?

 

If you fast-forward the video to the 37:12 mark, you will see Roy chime in.
