One of a kind...

You've heard of switch hitters.  Well, now meet Pat Venditte - a switch pitcher:

Yup, might as well pack up the kids, start the station wagon and head for home because how else are we going to top a pitcher making an ambidextrous appearance while wearing a specially-designed glove with six finger slots so he can wear in on either hand?

Now the question you might be pondering is: what happens when a switch hitter faces an ambidextrous pitcher?

The answer: Two years ago, Venditte brought up this exact same issue in the minors.  He and the switch hitter at the plate ended up switching sides repeatedly for several minutes until the umpire stepped in and forced the hitter to choose first.  Venditte received the advantage that time, but a new MLB rule prompted by this incident now states that a pitcher must choose first.  Each side is allowed, after at least one pitch has been thrown, to switch once more for the duration of the at-bat.
