The bible tells us to be grateful in every situation. I am grateful for mine.

I wanted to be like Nolan Ryan. I didn't want to be like Pete Gray...And I don't want kids to be like me because I have one hand. I want kids to be like Jim Abbott because he's a baseball pitcher at Michigan and he won the Big Ten Championship game, and not because I can field a bunt and throw to first.

I believe that challenges can push us beyond what we might otherwise be able to accomplish.

If you keep harping on a disability, then you'll start believing there is one. So I don't.

It's not the disability that defines you; it's how you deal with the challenges the disability presents you with.

I think my career will be remembered for what it was and what it is, and I don't need more than that.
