William Hoy exceeded the expectations of the hearing world and astounded fans not because he couldn't hear, but due to his excellence in baseball. Some automatically think that deafness is a drawback, but clearly it is only a distraction (to the hearing world) from pure talent.
A couple of his many accomplishments include:
82 stolen bases by the end of his rookie year
.288 batting average (Overview of Hoy's Career)
I highly recommend watching this short video that provides insight into Hoy's career:
