One-handed Jim Abbott gets first Major League Baseball hit [Video]

Flint, Michigan native Jim Abbott, who was born without a right hand, made his major league debut on April 8, 1989, for the California Angels. A little more than 10 years later, Abbott picked up his first career base hit as a member of the Milwaukee Brewers.

Here is a flashback to 22 years ago today when Abbott got his first Major League hit. Talk about amazing.
