Tom Willis was born without arms or hands, and learned to use his feet to write…and throw a baseball.
The 64-year-old San Diego resident has gotten so skilled at the baseball part that he’s thrown the first pitch at 29 different Major League Baseball stadiums since 2015…all with his right foot and twelve of the throws to home plate were for strikes.
Willis has made it his goal to throw first pitches at all 30 MLB stadiums. With Tuesday’s toss, only Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California, remains.
It’s all part of his “Pitch for Awareness” campaign to raise awareness about how disabled people adapt to obstacles and how there should be reasonable accommodation for all people to participate in everyday life.
His motto, according to the New York Post: “No hands, no arms, no problem.”
