October 16, 2008, Evansville, IN – After speaking with producers for the movie “Dummy Hoy: A Deaf Hero”, a decision has been made to try and fill Bosse Field grandstands.

“Dummy Hoy: A Deaf Hero” is about the first deaf  baseball player to play in the Major Leagues. He played from 1886 to 1903, and was instrumental in the creation of hand signals, which were used for strike, safe, and out calls.

Filming will begin at 10 a.m on Saturday October 18, 2008 and will last approximately 6 hours. The movie will be in the time period of the late 1800’s and those interested in being extras should wear earth tone colors, and be conservative with hair and makeup as producers are looking for a clean look. Due to North High School band practice, parking with be restricted and difficult to find. If interested please contact Cory Weicht of the Evansville Otters at (812) 435-8686, or cweicht@evansvilleotters.com.
