All this talk of ambidextrous (sp?) pitchers reminds me of something I saw
recently on a sports show.  There is a kid (I forget where he's playing)
who is a terrific left-handed pitcher.  However, he has no right hand.
He holds his glove on the end of his right arm, and after he releases the
ball, he slides the glove onto his left hand.

I believe the St. Louis Browns also had a one armed outfielder in the
mid-40's who would catch the ball, flip off his glove, and throw the
ball back in.
