Born with only one hand, Jim Abbott persevered to skipped the minor leagues entirely to make
his MLB debut. He also pitched for Team USA, helping win
America’s first Olympic Gold medal in baseball.
He learned to use a right-handed fielder's glove at
the end of his right arm, and, during his follow-through after
delivering a pitch, rapidly switch the glove to his left hand so he
could handle any balls hit back to him.
In his first season of a 10-year career, he won more games as a rookie than any other
previous player without Major League experience. Abbott remained
determined not to allow other people's notions of his limitations stand
in his way of accomplishing his dreams.
