Join ReelAbilities Houston for Night 4 of ReelFilm 2026 as we look into the life of this year's ReelPeople speaker, Jim Abbott, and his story of athleticism and perseverance.
Through archival footage, interviews, and intimate storytelling, “Southpaw: The Life and Legacy of Jim Abbott” chronicles the extraordinary journey of Jim Abbott, a Major League Baseball pitcher born without a right hand. From his childhood in Flint, Michigan to his unforgettable no-hitter at Yankee Stadium, the film explores Abbott’s resilience, ingenuity, and impact on generations of disabled athletes.
