We’ve long marveled at how well 8-year-old Tommy Morrissey can strike a golf ball using his one arm.
Well, he’s equally impressive with a baseball bat in his hand.
Morrissey plays for the Palm Beach Gardens Florida Youth Athletic Association Little League club named the Cardinals. And after getting a lesson from former St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Chris Carpenter, who was a surprisingly good hitting in his own right, Morrissey smacked a home run this past weekend.

And for good measure, mashed another one in the next game.
