Watch the catcher. He has 1 arm.

I think the subject title is referencing the catcher, not the hitter.

Better defensive catcher than Schwarber.

Baseball has Pete Gray, Monty Stratton, and Jim Abbot.

There must have been at least a few professional footballers without arms. Hey soccer guys, anyone really good without arms?

A football player with one hand is going to be drafted this month.

And a baseball player, born with a genetic condition(lacking talent) will be taking 4th overall in the 2018 MLB draft.

It's very common for the fourth pick in the draft to lack talent.

Are we talking only physical disabilities? Football teams ostracize players who are "too smart". If they have intelligence outside of football...not allowed on my team.

As to the original question posted, it's easy not to be romantic about baseball when too many people cry about the "unwritten rules"*





*I like baseball, and fuck the unwritten rules.

I saw that blind poker player at the Hold Em table at the Mirage a few years back. That was something....
