In 1995, a National Leaguer became the only player in the 20th century to pitch both left-handed and right-handed in the same game (and, I'm sure, in the same career). Who is he?

Greg Harris TONY MULLANE: On July 18, 1882, pitching for the Louisville Colonels, Mullane became the first professional to throw with both arms during a game. His trademark was to stand on the mound facing the batter without a glove and both hands on the ball before deciding which arm to throw with. LARRY CORCORAN: On June 16, 1884, the Cubs were in desperate need of pitching so Corcoran, who pitched three no-hitters in four years, came in and threw four innings with both arms. He still holds the record for the longest ambidextrous pitching stint. PAUL RICHARDS: Richards was not a pitcher during his major-league career and he is better known as a manager with the White Sox and Orioles, but he has his own ambidextrous story. While in high school in Waxahachie, Texas, he was featured in Ripley's Believe It Or Not for winning a doubleheader in which he pitched right-handed to right-handed batters and left-handed to left-handed batters. GREG HARRIS: Harris is the only player since the turn of the century to throw with both hands during a major-league game. On September 25, 1995, Harris pitched for the Montreal Expos, who were 24 1/2 games out of first place in the National League East, against the Cincinnati Reds. After his first lefty pitch sailed to the backstop, Harris worked a scoreless ninth inning. He faced four batters (two from each side of the mound), allowing a walk and recording three groundouts. It was the next-to-last appearance in the majors for Harris who retired after the season. http://www.sptimes.com/2002/04/02/Sports/Switch_pitching.shtml Jul 01 05, 12:32 AM

Right on (and left on) gtho. Harris was pitching for the Expos against the Reds. He got Ed Taubensee to ground out while pitching lefty. Harris was a good enough pitcher to spend 15 years in the bigs but his final game game came a day after his Sept. 28, 1995 ambidextrous performance. I'm a little surprised an Australian got this one but maybe you're a fan of Graeme Lloyd, who, by the way, never managed to throw a right-handed pitch during his 10-year major-league career.
