The Orioles honored a special 14-year-old. 

Luke Terry had his arm amputated as an infant because of an infection. The eighth-grade catcher from Tennessee has overcome physical challenges on the field. 

He's the starting catcher for his team and bats third. 

Before Wednesday's game, Luke received a pitch thrown by Hall of Famer Jim Palmer and then threw back to John Russell. 

The Orioles lost the game against the Indians 5-1.
