If you’ve never heard of Jim Abbott, do you notice anything weird about this card? Abbott was born without a right hand, but still managed to pitch 10 seasons in the majors — two with the Yankees.
His greatest accomplishment with the Yankees was his no-hitter on Sept. 4, 1993. Pretty remarkable.
I think the best way to learn Abbott’s story is through video. This one below shows his journey to the majors and how he compensated for not having a right hand.
