To the person who disagree that Dundon did not teach Hoy, sorry to sour your bubble - Dundon did.
This movie is a very poor story. Many information has been left out. 1. Dundon did not teach Hoy how to play baseball 2. Hoy behaved like he is not familiar with anything. He graduated as a Class Valedictorian. He was brilliant. Movie made him look more uneducated. 3. I just learned Dundon introduced the hand signals when he was an umpire in 1886. Movie needs to be redone and tell a more exciting story. Dang!
Historical portrayal, Family Oriented! Captions need to be larger those who need caption.. Great character portrayal of Wm Hoy!
Authentic, close attention to details, outstanding cast. A most inspiring true story
Loved this movie!

Amazing story!
Awesome movie! A must see!
Great movie depicting the late 1880s baseball and Dummy Hoy. It's time to recognize him in the Hall of Fame.
Thank you for showing this movie. My children really learned a lot. Marilyn Brady This movie was incredible. Bring the deaf community access to something like this is awesome. I learned a ton about him and the movie really made and impact on me. Marshall Harris.

I enjoyed it but was disappointed that he never got in baseball hall of fame
Well done and beautiful filming! The story about a deaf baseball player was so interesting.. not often we see the movie like this one. The movie must be seen!
I lately not watch the movie but I am waiting and paid for dvd the natural silent movie almost 8 months. Thank you
Such a good message and well done film!
It is a great movie for the whole family. It’s a great movie based on a true story, which makes it even better!
Loved it, was not what I was expecting! A great movie for the family to see.
It had a great story line. I love that it was based on a true story. It was partially made in my home town, Dawson Springs, Ky.
It was a well put together movie. Loved it!
Loved seeing the old deaf culture shown in this movie. I'm 9th generation deaf, and saw my grandmother and her friends using these signs and these values.
Really love this movie! It’s emotional and educational film. Feeling hit, it's important for others to see this movie!
Amazing and feelgood film about the life of a true American Baseball legend - Dummy Hoy. A pioneer. A legend who should be in the hall of Fame. See this film!
Not being biased as I was a background actress for the baseball scenes, but you have to see it. Its a family friendly film that can warm your heart, make you cry, make you angry at how people with disabilities were treated at that time, you'll laugh. Get educated like I did watching this movie. It teaches so much about human resiliency and shows alot of heart. Mainly, Mr. Hoy needs to be placed in the Hall like he deserves. Words can't explain it, go see it yourself. You'll be glad you did!
A high-quality film that holds your interest from beginning to end! Whether you are a baseball fan, enjoy Deaf history or culture, or just want to see a good, heartwarming story, this movie will not disappoint.
Me and My Family Loved this movie! Need more like it!
Very well done. Very educational. If you are a sports nut, this is one to see. I have seen it twice and waiting for it to come out on DVD so I can own my own copy
A wonderful feel-good movie based on the true-life story of William "Dummy" Hoy.
First international showing in Stockholm, Sweden. More Deaf people will be seeing it tonite 11/23.
This feature weaves through the early life of William Hoy showing his struggles, determination, and finally his triumph in overcoming both limitations of physical and public perception. Director David Risotto paints a story which quickly has the viewer sharing in the emotions of Hoy in his never ending march to achieve his goals.Walking out of the theater you cannot help both feel a little better about life then when you walked in. A time piece production which is perfect for these times.
A Masterpiece!
Fantastic film based on the life of a true American Baseball legend. Great for the whole family. William Ellsworth "Dummy" Hoy was a true "Deaf Hero"...
This was the best movie ever! A true story based on William “Dummy” Hoy, who became the first deaf baseball hero...So inspiring to watch his life and what he lived through. He had a wonderful outlook on life. I was so inspired by this movie!
