Overview

Yankee Stadium has seen a plethora of legends over the franchise's storied history, but few have left a legacy as unique as Jim Abbott's. On September 4, 1993, the pitcher, who was born without a right hand, threw a no-hitter in front of the Yankee faithful. This astonishing achievement is merely one in a lifetime of perseverance, as Abbott continues to advocate for people with disabilities.
