  • 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.

We appreciate your willingness to help. In the voters packet you will find the official ballot, an example ballot, and the nominee biographies: 1. The official ballot is what you return to us. Please return to us no later than Mon- day, February 11. 2. The example ballot’s purpose is to demonstrate the balloting rules. Obviously the names on the example ballot are not the nominee names. That was done to prevent you from being biased by the rankings you see there. 3. Each nominee has a profile in the biography packet. Some are more detailed than others and reflect what we received from the institutions and/or obtained in our own research. The ballot instructions are somewhat detailed, so be sure to read the directions at the top of the official ballot. Use the example ballot as a reference. Please try to consider the nominees based on their collegiate careers. In many cases nominees have gone on to professional careers but keep the focus on his college career as a player and/or coach. The Veterans (pre-1947) nominees often lack biographical details relative to those in the post-1947 categories. In those cases, the criteria may take on a broader spectrum to include the impact they had on the game/history of college baseball, etc.
