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.
