Time to Induct "Dummy Hoy" into the National Baseball Hall of Fame

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us It's time for all baseball fans to let the National Baseball Hall of Fame veterans committee know about William "Dummy Hoy" Ellsworth and for him to get inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame (NBHOF). The NBHOF only gets about 25 to 50 emails a year suggesting that "Dummy Hoy" be inducted according to a recent interview with the foremost authoritative "Dummy Hoy" documentarian, Steve Sandy. Indeed, this is a very small and pathetic response. More responses need to be generated. We need hundreds of thousands of responses and let the committee know about "Dummy Hoy" and he deserve a place in baseball history.

The next election for induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame will be in December 2008. The top 25 players will be selected and the vote for induction with the top 75% will take place in Jan/Feb 2009. The official induction will take place in July 2009.

Dear Veterans Committee,

I am writing to you in the hope that you will take my vote of consideration that William "Dummy Hoy" Ellsworth ought to be one of the prime candidates for induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. It wasn't long ago that "Dummy Hoy" was inducted into the Cincinati Reds Hall of Famer where the relatives of the Hoy family were invited to attend the ceremony
( see http://cincinnati.reds.mlb.com/cin/ballpark/museum/hofers.jsp#hoy ).

Recently a DVD documentary about "Dummy Hoy" was released by Da-CorPictures detailing the rich and rewarding history of "Dummy Hoy" (see http://www.dacorpictures.com/Dummy%20Hoy.html ). Also, there is a short video clip on Yahoo video that gives a short overview history about "Dummy Hoy" (see http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=647807 ) including a short clip from the DVD documentary.

If you look into the history and contribution to baseball that "Dummy Hoy" has made, including baseball signs such as "out' and "strike," I'm sure you will agree whole-heartedly that William "Dummy Hoy" Ellsworth finally deserves a place in baseball history by inducting him into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.


Thank you for your time and consideration on this very important piece of baseball history.

If you have any problem or questions let me know. Let's get the word out. We have until December 2008 when the election takes place to choose baseball players to be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Spread the word, folks. This is your chance and don't let this opportunity pass you by!
