NOTES During WWII a baseball player (Pete Gray, outfielder for St.

Louis Browns) plays with only one arm lost as a child and

becomes inspiration for a young boy also with one arm.

Gray went into sport after his brother was brain damaged

boxing. Initially he got his first job in minor league with the

Memphis Chicks because of his oddity value. He proves his

worth and with the drain of many major league players to the

war he earns promotion. The boy, Nelson Gary Jnr.., who he

encourages also became a minor league player.
