-- an amazing thing about Dummy Hoy many didn't know
We all know that Dummy Hoy was a successful major league
baseball player. He played baseball at Ohio School for
the Deaf before becoming a professional ball player.
What was so amazing about this story? He was not the
only professional baseball player to come from
his deaf school. Coach Parley Pratt sent six other
deaf players to professional baseball!
-- deaf chef vs hearing chefs in a cooking competition
The Cambridge University Culinary Competition took place
recently in England. It is an annual event, which started
in 1961, a big one that all chefs look forward to.
Few days ago Jenny Young, who is deaf, and never competed
against professonal chefs, won this event. As part of
her meal, she prepared roast chicken breast, fondant potatoes,
pea puree, pancetta and pea fricassee, sautéed baby onions,
and Madera jus. The judges loved it and voted her the best.
Hopefully soon, she will become a Celebrity Chef on these
TV food shows.
