Dream Quote by Jim Abbott

“It was always just trying to move to the next limit. I didn't think about making the major leagues - every kid has that dream, I had it, but when I was in Little League I just wanted to make the junior high team. When I was in junior high, I wanted to make the Varsity team.” quote by Jim Abbott — Download Open image
