Bless the courage of this man. I could not throw a major league no-hitter with five arms...

Talking at work about him the other day. Whatever happened to him? Did he retire or is he a pitching coach somewhere. The man had talent. It was amazing to just watch him throw his glove on after the pitch

""with five arms"

Take it from an ex-professional baseball player........... three of those arms would just get in your way!

But seriously, the way Abbott fielded the ball, transferring his glove, was really amazing. Do you remember the Jimmy Stewart movie from the 50's about a major league baseball pitcher who was shot in a hunting accident, and had to play basically with one leg? And hitters (probably cold-hearted Conservatives) bunted on him. Yoi!
