GLove Trailer - The First Deaf Baseball Team

GLove Trailer - The first hearing impaired Korean baseball team.

SEOUL, South Korea -- 'GLove' (Korean Movie - 2011) - A cocky ex-baseball player goes to the countryside to coach a team of Hearing-Impaired Boys. The school's baseball team consisted of 25 players who were Deaf.

What started out as a PR stunt to salvage his reputation turns into a serious bid for the National Championships. Acclaimed Korean director Kang Woo-seok’s first film based on a true story, 'GLove,' tells the story of a baseball team whose members are all hearing-impaired.

Kim Sang-nam (Jeong Jae-yeong), a hot-tempered former professional baseball player, is sent to the countryside to coach a team of hearing-impaired players in order to avoid media coverage of his recent involvement in an assault case.

At first, Kim has a difficult time imagining how he can teach baseball to a group of boys who can’t hear, but as he spends time with them he starts to believe that they can play the game.

Motivated, Kim decides to help them prepare for the nationals. But things don’t go the way Kim plans and their difficulties communicating with one another exacerbates the situation.

Deaf Space Camp

Deaf Space Camp in American Sign Language.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida -- The concept of Space Camp for Deaf and Hard of Hearing children was pioneered in 1986 by Dr. John Tiffany, principal of the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind in Talladega, Alabama.

Dr. Tiffany asked John Thomas Wheeler who worked at NASA if he would be interested in speaking to the students about NASA and science related jobs, he accepted. The first group to attend Deaf Space Camp had 21 Deaf students.

In the fall of 1997, Amy Newland, who taught at the Western PA School for the Deaf in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, independently took over the coordination of the program as the director. The director of this program has been on a volunteer basis since it's conception. Since 1987 there have been over 2,000 students and staff, from the United States and Internationally, who have attended the program Space Camp/Aviation Challenge for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.

This video was created by Ohio School for the Deaf students.
