Guy With No Arms Is On Quest To Throw Ceremonial First Pitch At Every MLB Stadium
Tom Willis may have been born without arms or fully formed hands, but that did not stop him from taking the mound at the U.S. Cellular Field on Wednesday to throw the ceremonial first pitch of the game between the Chicago White Sox and the Detroit Tigers.
Willis, who performs most tasks – including pitching – with his feet has been traveling around the country as part of his Pitch for Awareness Tour, which is aimed at changing the public’s perception of people with disabilities.

We have a Vice President with no brain. If Joey had been there he would have wanted to give Mr. Willis a high five.

I don’t know about Tom’s feet. But I’d follow that brunette’s “seat” just about anywhere!!!

Did you notice the guy complaining? Whining? Jerking off to self pity? Demanding things from others? No. The only time he complained was at himself when the ball landed in the dirt before it reached the catcher.
This is a hero from the America I was raised in, not the America where a slut demanding free johnnies from the Jesuits gets a phone call from the POTUS.

I saw a short film a few years back about a woman similarly handicapped/gifted. She was shown fondling vegetables with her feet, i.e. feeling for bruising, etc. Of course she took her shoes off to do it and put them back on afterward.

What this man is showing us us that just because you were born with no arms, it’s doesn’t mean you can’t grow up to throw a ball better than the President of the United States

But then again, people born without brain hemispheres can grow up to be a better president than Obama

If he was a muzzie, he would be dead since they can’t touch anything with their feet.
