Signs of the Time
A Passion Project of a Story That Needed to be Told
THE MYTH, THE MYSTERY, THE LEGEND OF BASEBALL'S GREATEST INNOVATION
Where did baseball hand signals come from?
Signs of the Time explores this seemingly simple question and unveils stories of inspiration that transcend sports. We meet the two men at the heart of the debate. One was a trailblazing umpire whose dedication and ingenuity landed him in the Hall of Fame. The other, a ballplayer who overcame barriers of communication becoming the most celebrated deaf player in the history of major-league baseball. Signs of the Time is sure to delight baseball fans of all ages while exploring our human need to interact with those around us, even in the face of adversity.
