Jim would balance the glove on his right arm, and as part of the follow through when he threw the baseball, he would slide the glove onto his left hand so he could catch any balls that came back to him! This method of pitching became his signature style, and he became very well known through his college years.
When he graduated college, he was picked up by the California Angels, and later played for the Milwaukee Brewers, Chicago White Sox, and the New York Yankees! In 1993, he would throw the first no hitter at Yankee Stadium in over 10 years! Jim Abott didn't let his minor disability prevent him from playing a game that he loved, and being remembered as one of the best Major League Baseball Pitchers of all time.
