  • History Lori Craig's Work, "Historical Professional Deaf Players in the Major Leagues
    1 2. Lori Craig (Prof. Rebecca Edwards) History Lori Craig's work, "Historical Professional Deaf Players in the Major Leagues of Baseball," was submitted for credit in one class "Deaf History," but really grows out of two classes we shared together, "Deaf History" and the "History of Baseball." She brings the best of both classes together in her research on early twentieth century Deafballplayers, most notably William Hoy and Luther Taylor. It is easy to see how work in both classes informed her research. She knows how to assess their on-field performance, yes, but she also shows us why we should still remember and honor today men whose playing careers ended before 1910. She explains that the fact that the two men signed in a time when sign language was discouraged and even attacked in American culture makes the careers of these players significant. Due to her time as student in "Deaf History," she understands the need to emphasize that their lack of speech and their preference for sign was a culturally significant event in the world of baseball in the turn of the century. The fact that these men brought sign language with them to their respective teams was pathbreaking in the oralist years of the early twentieth century and Lori explains why so effectively in her work. She knows to pay equal attention to their Deafness and their baseball skills, again bringing two classes together in one research paper. It was an honor and a pleasure to have her in a variety of classes this entire academic year.
