Billy Wagner was originally a righty but taught himself to throw lefty when he was young. I thought I heard that back when he was playing, but couldn't remember for sure. Google search verified that I wasn't imagining things.

Cool stuff guys!
PC Card Totals:
Manny Machado - 395 Jonathan Schoop - 223 Chance Sisco - 11 Always looking for more of these guys! Let's trade!
One argument years ago when people would try it was that they would want their eight warm-up pitches when they switched arms mid-inning.
I appreciate Chicago players that begin competing within the city's sports organizations and stay with these teams throughout their careers.

6.02
© If the batter refuses to take his position in the batters box during his time at bat, the umpire shall call a strike on the batter. The ball is dead, and no runners may advance. After the penalty, the batter may take his proper position and the regular ball and strike count shall continue. If the batter does not take his proper position before three strikes have been called, the batter shall be declared out. Notwithstanding Rule 6.02©, if the batter intentionally leaves the batters box and delays play, and none of the exceptions listed in Rule 6.02(d)(1)(i) through (viii) applies, the umpire shall award a strike without the pitcher having to deliver the pitch. The ball is dead, and no runners may advance. The umpire shall award additional strikes, without the pitcher having to deliver the pitch, if the batter remains outside the batters box and further delays play. Rule 6.02(d)(1) Comment: The umpire shall give the batter a reasonable opportunity to take his proper position in the batters box after the umpire has called a strike pursuant to Rule 6.02(d)(1) and before the umpire calls a successive strike pursuant to Rule 6.02(d)(1). (2) The batter may leave the batters box and the dirt area surrounding home plate when Time is called for the purpose of (i) making a substitution; or (ii) a conference by either team. Rule 6.02(d) Comment: Umpires shall encourage the on-deck batter to take a position in the batters box quickly after the previous batter reaches base or is put out PBUC rule (no number listed from MLB site) The new rules regarding ambidextrous pitchers are as follows: The pitcher must visually indicate to the umpire, batter and runner(s) which way he will begin pitching to the batter. Engaging the rubber with the glove on a particular hand is considered a definitive commitment to which arm he will throw with. The batter will then choose which side of the plate he will bat from. The pitcher must throw one pitch to the batter before any "switch" by either player is allowed. After one pitch is thrown, the pitcher and batter may each change positions one time per at-bat. For example, if the pitcher changes from right-handed to left-handed and the batter then changes batter's boxes, each player must remain that way for the duration of that at-bat (unless the offensive team substitutes a pinch hitter, and then each player may again "switch" one time). Any switch (by either the pitcher or the batter) must be clearly indicated to the umpire. There will be no warm-up pitches during the change of arms. If an injury occurs the pitcher may change arms but not use that arm again during the remainder of the game I could not find the MLB rule.
Looking for autos of these players as well as established stars and superstars.
