Jim Abbott “Ace” California Angels MLB Action Poster – Making Waves 1989

Bring your wall alive with one of the most inspirational stories to ever hit Major League Baseball! Jim Abbott, born without a right hand, never let his disability get him down. Proving the naysayers wrong, he learned how to hit, pitch, and field in spite of his limitations, and entered the Major Leagues as a first-round draft pick of the California Angels out of Michigan in 1988. By early 1989, he was a stalwart member of the Angels rotation, won 12 games in his rookie season, and peaked two years later with a brilliant 18-11 season in which he was third in the Cy Young voting. An inspiration to millions, and no one has come close to what he accomplished since! Despite his transcendent superstar status, very few posters of Jim were published, but this is one of the best – a spectacular close-up action shot of his windup at the Big A in Anaheim during one of his nighttime home starts in ’89. An amazing poster that you’ve likely never seen before! Or perhaps you had it hanging in your room back in the day, and want to replace it for your Man Cave today. From short-lived publisher “Making Waves, Inc.”, this difficult-to-find entry is a must for any compete collection, and is a beauty for your wall!
