1-Armed High School Baseball Player Inspires Athletes
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - A one-armed baseball player, from Tennessee, is not letting anything get in the way of following his dreams.
Luke Terry was first noticed last year when the Tennessean wrote a feature story about him.
Now, a freshman at Cornersville High School, the catcher is inspiring athletes after a video of him playing baseball over Easter weekend went viral.

Luke had his right arm amputated when he was just 19 months old after contracting E. coli and it attacked his arm.
