Forgot about this guy since he hasn't pitched in a long while, but I remember growing up how just awesome this guy was. Pitching with only one arm against professional players? Really? Wow. Just wow. This man deserves, and the others on this list, deserve their props.

The list forgot about David Carr. He overcame Down Syndrome and mental r****dation to become the first pick in the 2002 NFL Draft.

Jim Abbott was one of the few good reasons for the DH rule Its 1 hand not 1 arm he has both his arms, but not like it dimishes the accomplishment.
