On April 7, Chad Bentz made his Major League Baseball debut, getting two outs in the seventh inning for the Montreal Expos against the Florida Marlins. He became the second pitcher to play Major League Baseball after being born without one of his hands. The other was Jim Abbott, whose success inspired Bentz to stick with baseball despite being teased for his deformed right hand while growing up in Juneau.
