Since most of the deaf players couldn’t speak, professional baseball players, including Dundon, were often saddled with the inappropriate nickname, “Dummy.” In today’s age, thankfully, a label like that would be totally off-limits.
Dundon headed south in 1885, joining Atlanta with the Southern League. Atlanta won the pennant that year. Dundon posted a 21-11 record with 210 strikeouts and 1.30 ERA in 37 games pitched.
The following weekend (May 17) opens the field, Páirc na Naomh, for official games with the Memorial 7’s tournament. This year is dedicated in memorial to Martin Lowery.
