True Facts Dept: The tale of the amphibious pitcher

Agent 34 has submitted this entry to Walt's ongoing True Stuff competition. Ed. suspects that the story is a bit dated, but there is no statute of limitations here, and the story is true! 

Ed.'s research reveals that Patrick Michael Venditte Jr. is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He played in Major League Baseball for the Oakland Athletics, Toronto Blue Jays, Seattle Mariners, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Francisco Giants and Miami Marlins

Venditte's rare ability to pitch with either arm -- he's ambidextrous -- forced baseball leagues, both major and minor, to create a special rule for ambidextrous pitchers. It is known as "the Pat Venditte Rule". Duh.
