Jim Abbott - Rise to Fame

[Amandanksterr]

This is so inspiring. HE is so inspiring.

Thanks so much Jim! You are such an inspiration for my nephew Juanito, who was born without 75% of his left arm and is one of the best baseball players in Los Angeles' little league! It's such a joy to see people like you two amount to things that many people could only dream of. THANKS!!!!!

@OceanproAquatics I never saw it, I was spending too much time listening to the music and watching Jims amazing ability to juggle his glove in the stub of his right arm, throw at Major League speeds and in a blink of an eye slide his left hand back into his glove extremely fast for any contact.

[OceanproAquatics]

@OceanproAquatics I live In Los Angels and personally saw him pitch and get his hand in the glove so fast that he caught a line drive slammed back at him and he caught it! Just Awesome! I miss not seeing him play down here for the Angels. God Bless bro - great video.

@marth1800 No doubt, what a nerd!

My favorite quote by Jim was "handicapped??? No, few people with 2 hands can do this."

[Enoqqq]

Great movie... And wonderfully put together...

[midnighttoker7772200]

looks like he took some steroids when he got to the yanks.

You cant say that, he only has one hand !!!

I just said it.

it's kind of interesting that abbott is credited with "staring" considering the amount of staring that he probably received over his life...is that irony alanis...he is the greatest of all nubbins though...

[jakartamacan]

jim abbott is a very great player I hope everybody was inspired by him

[FEAROFCAPS]

the movie was okay ... but i don't understand the American flags; also, you "shoud" learn how to spell should

[jaybee1600]

Ok, "Shoud" was a typo. I overlooked it when I proofread it. Also, the American flags were at the point where I should him playing for the United States' olympic baseball team.

[FEAROFCAPS]

Jaybee... I think you mean: where I showed him playing for the United States's Olympic baseball team. you said, "where i should him".

[jaybee1600]

Thank you once again for pointing out my typos.  You want to check any more?

[FEAROFCAPS]

I think you mean: Do you want to check any more?

Just kidding man! Good movie!

[unbiasbob]

There should be a Hollywood movie about Jim Abbott

[ssmiller02]

My son was born with the same condition as him and a person like Jim Abbott and his life is the perfect insperation for him and i hope he can find his calling just like him.

[socomoddjob]

[prest187]
