Cause for Celebration: Jim Abbott
As part of our Cause for Celebration series presented by PNC, we are highlighting the triumphs of athletes with disabilities who have reshaped sport through determination and excellence. This week, we celebrate Jim Abbott.
Born without a right hand, Jim Abbott defied expectations to become one of baseball's most inspiring athletes. He pitched for 10 seasons in Major League Baseball, represented Team USA with a gold medal at the 1988 Olympics, and famously threw a no-hitter for the New York Yankees in 1993.
Today, we celebrate an athlete whose perseverance and passion continue to inspire generations to chase their dreams without limits!
