15 years ago today Jim Abbott threw a no-hitter when his Yankees beat the Indians 4-0! An amazing athlete who was born with only one hand!. The ability to throw a pitch, then put his glove on, and then field his position. The Indian team he beat was a few years away from being great but it did have Manny and Belle. Pretty decent team to no hit.
Anyway Abbott played 10 years and had a career record of 87 - 108. Amazing stats was that he had 21 career at bats and had 2 hits. Played in 263 games and only committed 9 errors! And a .976 career fielding percentage. Impressive!
