Today marks the 15th anniversary of Jim Abbott's no-hitter for the New York Yankees over the Cleveland Indians. (The Indians lineup included Manny Ramirez hitting sixth and Jim Thome hitting eighth.)
Abbott was a left-handed pitcher by necessity, since he was born without a right hand. And while he wasn't a great major league pitcher, he had a few bright spots in the early 1990s which warranted a cameo on Boy Meets World.
As the New York Times reports, Abbott is now supporting the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy.
