For the New York Yankees, they have had some amazing pitchers over the years. Major League Baseball has only one baseball player like Jim Abbott. Not only did he have a no-hitter, but he didit with only one hand. Yesterday was the 27th anniversary of that great day for a great guy.
Jim Abbott’s Major League career lasted a decade. It began in California and ended in Milwaukee. Along the way, he totaled 87 wins, a 4.25 ERA, 888 strikeouts, and a no-hitter. He began his journey as a rookie for the Angels in 1989, tossed that no-no as a member of the Yankees, continued to beat the odds with the White Sox, and for a curtain call, he tallied both his career hits and knocked in all three of his career RBI as a member of the ’99 Milwaukee Brewers roughly a month before his remarkable career ended.
