"He made thousands of fans cheer, but never heard one." Freestyle Digital Media has released an official trailer for an indie sports biopic titled The Silent Natural, a feature film about the one of the first Deaf Major League Baseball players in the 1800s. This premiered at film festivals last year, and arrives on VOD next month. Miles Barbee stars as William Hoy, who loved baseball despite being deaf and being smaller than most players (at 5'4"). After two years in the Minor Leagues, Hoy signs with the Washington Senators in 1888 and leads the National League with 82 stolen bases in his rookie year. Being deaf, he introduced the hand signals for strike and ball to the game and overcame many obstacles to become one of the greatest players of his time. The full cast includes Vernon Wells, Tyler Mane, Sam J. Jones, Courtney Gains, Marshall R. Teague, Anne Lockhart, Sheree J. Wilson, Richard Herd. What an inspirational story. ›››
