I don't ever remember the Yankees having a one-armed pitcher, but I could be wrong.

There was a guy named Pete Gray who played years ago. There was also a kid named Joe Nuxhall who pitched for the Reds when he was 15 years old. I believe both of these were an anomaly related to the shortage of big-league talent during World War II when a lot of players were serving in the armed forces.
