Man Born Without Arms Throws First Pitch At White Sox Game

Meet Tom Willis. He was born without arms, and he threw out the first pitch at the White Sox game on Wednesday. Using his feet, he's on a quest to throw out the first pitch at every Major League Baseball stadium. It's part of his Pitch for Awareness Tour to "educate people about the abilities of people with disabilities." Willis isn't a bad pitcher. So far he's made 18 ceremonial first pitches, nine of which have been strikes.
