Jim Abbott was a top rated southpaw with one hand who broke in around '87. He showed a lot of promise and pitched superbly for a few seasons. What an inspiration it was to see him switch his glove on and off his bad hand to pitch and field with such speed and dexterity! I wanted to see him have a hall-of-fame career...I think everyone did. But he faltered along the way after the "wondrous" George Steinbrenner did a trip on his head when he pitched for the Yanks (I may be a Yankee fan, but I've never been a Steinbrenner fan!), and finally retired about two years ago, Still, the level of his achievement is a marvel in my mind. I'm eagerly waiting for the movie!
