Guy named Greg Harris for the Expos switch-pitched back in the 90's. I haven't seen one since him

Henriquez, a switch-hitter, began moving from batter's box to batter's box, while Venditte shifted his specially designed six-finger glove from his right hand to his left. After several cycles, umpires ruled that Henriquez had to commit to one side of the plate before Venditte committed to his right arm or left. LMAO...Would loved to see this in person...

"That was like a Laurel and Hardy thing," Girardi said.

One month later, the Professional Baseball Umpire Corporation released a series of rules pertaining to Venditte's situation, allowing both batters and pitchers to switch sides once per at-bat. This just answered the question I was going to ask. Was talking about this the other day at the bar.
