The Texass stRangers once had on their roster a relief pitcher by the name of Greg Harris.

Harris wasn’t a bad pitcher, per se – in fact, for a couple of years, he served as their closer – but what set him apart was this little known fact:&#160 He could pitch with either hand.&#160 There were even rumors that he was working on a special glove to do just that.

Ever since then, I’d always wondered what would happen if he were to try that, and a switch hitter – say, Pete Rose, for example – were to come up to bat with the idea to switch to either side of the plate in an effort to counter the switch-pitcher.

Well, now we have our answer.

In his professional debut, Pat Venditte of the Staten Island Yankees – a natural right-hander whose father taught him to pitch with either arm – played cat-and-mouse in the ninth inning with the Brooklyn Cyclones’ Ralph Henriquez as each player tried to gain an advantage, holding up the game for seven minutes.

Check out the video:

Given that there was a runner on first, I might have wanted my pitcher to stay with the left hand, for the better pickoff attempt.&#160 That’s just me, though.&#160

If it happens in TCU f’ball, I like to think&#160 I’m on top of it.&#160 (Doesn’t always happen that way, but oh well.&#160 &#160 )

So it is with great joy that the Realm&#153 announces the marriage of Frog linebacker Robert Henson to Sarah Jakes – yes, the daughter of T.D. Jakes of the Potter’s House.

Best of luck to you guys, Robert & Sarah!
