Imagine a baseball game with no pumped-in music, and no announcers. Just baseball.
It'll happen, if only for an inning, in Rochester, N.Y. next month when the Rochester Red Wings, the Minnesota Twins AAA baseball team, holds "Deaf Culture Day."
American Sign Language interpreters will be stationed around the ballpark, and one inning will be a "silent inning."
The team will wear uniforms that sign out the team's name.
