As he told us, he was the greatest

(insert rolling eyes smiley here)

However, he's the answer to the trivia question of who is/was the only prominent player to throw left and bat right (non-pitchers). Now, I couldn't tell you if there has been one in the past 20 or so years.....I don't pay nearly the attention.

This means something to me mostly as that is me...throw left, bat right. Yet not so prominent. Did make an all-star team once, lol.
