Monty Stratton, a talented Chicago White Sox pitcher, achieved a 37-19 won-loss record in three seasons. Despite his success, his career was cut short in 1938 after a hunting accident led to the amputation of his right leg. With the support of his wife Ethel, Stratton made a remarkable minor league comeback in 1946, continuing to pitch in the minor leagues throughout the 1940s and 1950s.
