First, I found this video, courtesy Jack Shedd, of an ambidextrous pitcher facing off against an ambidextrous batter in "A" minor-league baseball. It's actually quite funny, as the two each attempt to switch stances for advantage (if you don't know, switch hitters in baseball are rare; switch-pitchers barely exist at all).

It was such an amusing situation, I corresponded with Colby Cosh about it, since he is a vital national resource on matters concerning baseball, rule minutia, and general weirdness. He directed me to the existence of the Pat Venditte Rule, which pretty much exists because of the play in this video.

Pretty cool, huh?
