Don't even think about running on Luke Terry.

Terry, a 14-year-old from central Tennessee who had his right arm amputated before his second birthday, drew considerable attention when footage of him catching - and hosing baserunners at second - went up on YouTube earlier this season, so the Baltimore Orioles invited him down to Camden Yards on Wednesday to give the youngster a big-league workout. Flanked by Orioles catchers Caleb Joseph and Welington Castillo, Terry looked right at home.

"It's nothing short of amazing really," Joseph told Eduardo A. Encina of the Baltimore Sun. "It's really cool to be a part of. It's been the highlight of my day. He's a really well-mannered young man. He's extremely respectful, as most Tennessee people are. He's an inspiration. I know everybody comes here thinking that we're the inspirational types, but it usually works the opposite way around and it has again in this scenario."
