OK baseball fans, Here is a good one.
Pat Venditte, pitches for the NY Yankees. this in and of itself is not newsworthy, however, he does something that very few pitchers have done. What is that you ask?
He can pitch both right handed and left handed!!! That is right baseball fans, He is a switch pitcher!!!
He wears a special glove with 6 finger slots so he can wear it on his right or left hand. His arrival in the pros has caused the professional baseball umpires corporation to create a special rule that states before each batter, Venditte must visually signal which arm he intends to throw with exclusively for that at bat.
