To that awesome interview Cupie (I think) did with Abbott about a year or so ago? Or was it longer?

That interview is a great read
Cupie did an awesome job. I always like Abbott definately one of my top 10 all-time players, used to have his rookie card, and was probably one of thousands of kids when i was probably 7 or 8 who would go out back and throw a ball against the wall with my glove propped on my one hand trying to emulate Jim Abbott. What a story, what a human, and GD what a ball player
