Anybody see about kid from Ohio who lost both his arms in a factory accident in high school and got mechanical ones and went on to play football again and baseball. Amazing story really. I saw it on Espn.com. Truly amazing how he can be as upbeat as he is and move forward and accomplish all he has accomplished in such a relatively short period of time. All the shit you take for granted. Wow.

that is incredible. . . good story, thanks for posting. . .if that happened to me i would have tottaly given up on playing sports. . . technology is the only thing holding him back from getting a base hit, but they seem to be getting closer. but it is amazing he has been able to do all those other things.

Yeah Rob, I could not believe all that this kid can do, and in such a short period of time.

There was a special on cnn a couple days back and they showed the advancements on prosthetic limbs. It was really amazing how well people could work and even run these days. One guy had two prosthetic legs abd he was running on a treadmill. He was much faster than I.

This kid had 111 tackles in High School football, within 2 years of losing his arms. Amazing will power, determination and positive attitude.
