Jim Abbott No Hitter Box Score

Jim Abbott was a 6' 3", two-hundred ten pound left handed fireballer who graduated from the University of Michigan and pitched for the 1988 U.S. Olympic team. Then, without any minor league experience, Abbott was brought into the major leagues by the California Angels organization.

Four years later the one-handed pitcher, who once commented that he wanted to be like Nolan Ryan and not like Pete Gray, realized part of that dream when he tossed this five-walk no hitter in Yankee Stadium.
