This guy is sort of the anti - Jim Abbott. Two fully functional arms, but one is always occupied.

Any clips of him fielding a comebacker to the mound, then having to make the excruciating decision about whether or not to let go of himself and throw the runner out?

There already is one. It's shaped like Chris Resop.

Perhaps he's praying, as in a line from Psalm 23: "My cup runneth over".

Pardon the sacrilege, I know it's Good Friday and all, but I couldn't resist.

McFarlane Toys needs to do a Chris Resop action figure with kung fu grip.

Begorrah, I'm goin' to hell.
