The Michigan Daily - Monday, April 10, 1989 -Page 13 Abbott takes loss In first AL start ANAHEIM, Ca. (AP) - Former Michigan pitcher Jim Abbott made his much-anticipated major league debut Saturday night. Although the Flint native and former Sullivan Award winner lost the game, his manager defended the rookie's performance. "I thought under the conditions, he was outstanding," California Angels manager Doug Rader said. "No matter what happened tonight, it's the long haul that counts and I think he'll have a long ride." The 21-year-old pitcher, who was born without a right hand, was more difficult on himself after being pulled out with bases loaded in the fifth inning of the 7-0 loss to the Seattle Mariners. "Right now, it's hard to look at this day in a real positive light. The way things went kind of took the sweetness out of it," said Abbott, who made the jump from Michigan to the major leagues without playing any minor league games.

"Maybe in a few years, I hope I'm still around, I can look back and say, 'Gosh, things weren't so bad,"' he said. "But I don't feel too good right now." The crowd of about 46,847, at Anaheim Stadium gave Abbott a standing ovation.
