William "Dummy" Hoy

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:
