One Arm Wonders

Pete Gray was born right-handed but became a lefty baseball player after losing his right arm in a truck accident. He won an MVP award in the minor leagues, then made it to the big leagues for 45 games.

Jim Abbott was born with only a left arm. After mastering the ability to pull his glove on and off, field and throw without dropping the ball, he threw a no-hitter against the New York Yankees in 1993. He also pitched and won the gold medal game for the USA in the 1988 Olympics.

What's our excuse for not achieving?
