On February 16, 2024, directly in front of an E60 camera, the heart Pollard was born with 49 years earlier took its last beat, after it was extracted from his chest cavity. Ten days prior, the 11-year NBA veteran, granted full access to E60 as he was admitted into Vanderbilt University Medical Center’s ICU with advanced heart failure. The task was to document a story to which nobody, not even Pollard’s doctors, knew the ending. For months prior to that, Pollard had been waiting for a new heart. More than most people, Pollard and his family understood the process—and the stakes. When Pollard was 16, his father Pearl collapsed and died from heart failure—after waiting in vain on the transplant list. “Poison” Pearl had been a star basketball player himself, at the University of Utah—and, like his son, Pearl was a big man, nearly seven feet tall, which made finding a heart for him nearly impossible.

E:60 delivers a powerful profile of baseball icon Jim Abbott. The episode, The Life and Legacy of Jim Abbott, weaves the story of Abbott’s extraordinary life and career around a deep dive into his memorable no-hitter on September 4, 1993.

He was named America’s best amateur athlete in 1987 while at the University of Michigan and went on to pitch the gold medal-winning game for the U.S. at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul. Drafted by the California Angels in the first round, Abbott’s journey through professional baseball is a study in perseverance.
