  • Game umpires (1B), (HP), (3B). It's good that softball uses hand signals (like baseball), because the 3rd base umpire is deaf. It didn't seem to have any impact on the game, however.<BR><BR>A careful examination of history shows that the hand signals in baseball were inspired by the first deaf superstar of major league baseball - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dummy_Hoy#cite_ref-timeline1_0-0" target="_blank">William Ellsworth "Dummy" Hoy</a>, who was born during the Civil War in 1862, in tiny Houcktown, Ohio—even though in the National Baseball Hall of Fame an umpire (Bill Klem) is credited with being the first to use the signals in the major leagues.
