BillyVance 34 #6 November 17, 2004 QuoteLOL...thanks...off to the hardware store Cool You might be surprised at what things in life have been influenced by deaf culture: Baseball's use of strike signals by the umpire - Dummy Hoy was a deaf player way back in the 1900's in the major leagues. He helped start the tradition of calling a strike just so he would know what pitch it was. Football huddle - started by Gallaudet University (the only Deaf University in the world) in Washington D.C. The football team started gathering in a tight circle to hide the sign language from the other team when calling out the play. Those are just two examples. There are many more...
