"I'M NOT AFRAID OF ANYTHING!" by Stan Griffin At the age of six, Curtis Pride played one T-ball game and then said, "I'm going to be a baseball player." Twelve years later, he signed a contract to play for the major league New York Mets. In the intervening years, he was: (1) an outstanding high school athlete excelling in baseball, soccer, basketball, wrestling, swimming, track, and gymnastics; (2) named as one of the top 15 youth soccer players in the world (the only American) and a member of the U.S. National All-Star Soccer Team which traveled to China to compete for the 1985 Junior World Cup; (3) a "Parade Magazine" high school basketball All-American and a four-year starter as point guard on the College of William and Mary basketball team. On every one of those squads, Curtis was the only hearing-impaired athlete. Curtis' parents became aware of his deafness when he was 17 months old. He was diagnosed as "congenitally deaf with a profound (95%) sensorineural loss." (In other words, he lost all but 5% of his ability to hear.) During the time Sally Pride was pregnant with Curtis, she was struck by rubella (German measles). The year was 1968, there was a national outbreak of the disease, and it took away most of Curtis' hearing. John Pride moved his family in 1971 from Washington, D.C. to Silver Springs, Maryland. Curtis spent the first three years of his schooling in special education oral classes. Beginning with grade 4, he was "mainstreamed" (put into classes with hearing students). He followed his mother's advice when being teased and pushed around by other students: "You can never, ever let them (his tormentors) stop you from doing what you want to do." Curtis finally knocked down one of them to earn their respect.

In the Spotlight Hitting A Homerun: Curtis Pride by Kellye Nelson In 1986, Curtis Pride was drafted by the New York Mets at the same time he accepted a full basketball scholarship to the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. Through a unique arrangement negotiated by his family, the Mets, and William and Mary, Curtis was able to play professional baseball part-time, while being a four-year basketball starter at college. He graduated from William and Mary in 1990 with a degree in finance. In 1992, Curtis signed with the Montreal Expos as a minor league free agent. On September 23, 1993 he recorded his first major league hit- a double. In 1996, history was made when Curtis became the first full-season deaf player in the modern era of Major League Baseball. He has subsequently enjoyed a successful career in professional baseball, and played with the following major league teams: Detroit Tigers, 1996-1997; Atlanta Braves, 1998; Boston Red Sox 1997 and 2000; and Montreal Expos, 1993, 1995 and 2001. His career in professional baseball has spanned 19 years now, and he is currently playing for the Anaheim Angels. Curtis was quoted saying, "I've always liked to inspire people, even people without disabilities, that they're able to achieve their dreams or goals if they just work hard, stay positive, and continue to believe in themselves."
