I'm not sure about any of this; maybe somebody else is . . .

 - Wasn't Early Wynn an ambidextrous pitcher who did pitch both ways?

 - Isn't there a rule which says a pitcher must use the same arm for the
   entire game?

 - After the first pitch in any at-bat, doesn't the hitter have to continue
   to bat from that side of the plate for the remainder of that at-bat?

I always believed the above to be true, though I don't know for sure.
Can anybody out there verify any of these for the benefit of us all?

Many thanks - and GO CUBS !!!

 I will also add that Denver deserves a baseball team; the weather here is
far better for baseball than the weather was in Milwaukee when I lived there.
