The Monte Stratton Story is a true life movie that I recommend every BB fan should see.
Stratton was a very effective pitcher for the White Sox in the mid-'30s. Then he had a
hunting accident and his lower leg was amputated. He tried to comeback after the accident
and did pitch in the Minors. In the early '40s was the pitching coach for Jimmy Dykes' WSox.

Rent this Movie, it is Jimmy Stewart at his best, and there are a lot of Major Lge. players
in it, including HOFers Bill Dickey and Luke Appling.
