It's been 20 years since a pitcher has thrown with both hands in the same inning. Last night, Pat Venditte did it for Oakland in his pro debut.
I think this is so cool. I have a nephew, Tim, who could pitch like this. His first organized coach told him to CHOOSE one or the other. I always disliked that coach. I used to catch for Tim during practice sessions, and I was amazed at his speed and control from both sides. Having him choose was a mistake. Tim went on to have a good college career, but it always bugged me that a coach never realized how special that gift was.
