✨Someone has to be the first, but former baseball player @jabbottum31 was much more than that. Born without a right hand, Abbott’s rise to @MLB was a phenomenal achievement. The highlight of his career—and the focus of this documentary—came on September 4, 1993, when Abbott, pitching for the @Yankees, threw a no-hitter against the Cleveland Indians—a day that became legendary for all who were in attendance and for those watching or listening from home. 🏆For its deeply detailed, deeply human look at what Jim Abbott means to baseball and beyond, Southpaw—The Life and Legacy of Jim Abbott is a #PeabodyWinner. @JeremySchaap peabodyawards.com/award-prof…

The @PeabodyAwards just announced that Southpaw, the @E60 doc directed and edited by @MikeFarrellESPN, has been nominated in the documentary category. Of the 41 nominations announced today across three categories, it is the only content from the world of sports. From the announcement: Southpaw: The Life and Legacy of Jim Abbott (ESPN) Jim Abbott, born without a right hand, defied the odds to become a celebrated baseball pitcher, achieving fame in the Major Leagues and notably pitching a no-hitter for the New York Yankees in 1993. His journey, marked by struggles with being a reluctant role model, continues to inspire and resonate with disabled and limb-different individuals worldwide, making "Southpaw" a powerful narrative about ingenuity and identity.

Was honored to write, direct, and edit this tease for Lee Corso’s last headgear pick along with John Minton III.
Every GameDay, for the last 29 years, one choice has risen above the rest. Not because of the match ups, but because of the man. @KirkHerbstreit honors his colleague and friend, Lee Corso ❤️
