As a Yankee fan, I remember one interleague spring training game in Florida, when Abbott batted and once hit an extra-base hit to the warning-track/wall area. He would hold the bat in his one hand and place the stump of the other arm on the bat to hit. Pretty amazing athlete. He won the Sullivan Award as the nation's top amateur athlete among all sports during his senior season at U. of Michigan.
