Jim Abbott posts great tweet about DeMarco Murray’s hand injury

After suffering a broken bone in his left hand during last week’s game, DeMarco Murray underwent surgery on Monday. For the remainder of the week, the running back’s hand was the subject of much discussion and there was speculation up until Sunday whether or not Murray would be active for the team’s game against the Colts. With a pad on the hand, Murray rushed for 58 yards and a touchdown as Dallas cruised to a 42-7 victory.

Among those who didn’t understand what all the fuss was about was former Major League Baseball pitcher Jim Abbott, who was born without a right hand and went on to play 10 seasons for the Angels, Yankees, White Sox, and Brewers.

Abbott took to his Twitter account on Sunday to mention he was confident enough in Murray to start him on his fantasy team.

Starting DeMarco Murray today in FF football, this hand thing shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Sometimes it just takes someone to put things in perspective. In this case, it was Jim Abbott who did that quite perfectly.
