Baseball Heroes, Past and Present

You may have heard about Expos pitching prospect Chad Bentz, who was born with just one arm. Remind you of anyone? Chad is trying to follow in the steps of one of the all-time great baseball heroes, Jim Abbott. The same Jim Abbott who showed up at Angels training camp as an alumni coach yesterday.

I love this alumni coaches idea! If just a little bit of Jim Abbott rubs off on the Angels pitching staff it would be a great thing for the club. Personally, Jim is my all-time favorite Angel and I'm sure Chad Bentz will be a great hero to all the fans of the Expos. I wish him all the luck in the world.
