One-armed catcher Terry awes Orioles

BALTIMORE -- Orioles catcher Caleb Joseph still remembers the time Jim Abbott, the former Major League pitcher with one hand, came to speak at a church event. Joseph was in awe.

Joseph felt a similar feeling Wednesday afternoon watching 14-year-old catcher Luke Terry take reps behind home plate at Camden Yards. Terry had his right arm amputated as an infant, but that hasn't stopped him from chasing his dreams.

With Joseph to his side, Terry caught pitches, flipped off his glove, grabbed the ball and fired to second base and third base in a pregame catching clinic, along with Welington Castillo and bench coach John Russell.
