Harris was the most recent Major League pitcher to do what Venditte will accomplish the first time the 29-year-old rookie faces a right-handed and a left-handed batter: pitch with both arms in a big league game.
It was Sept. 28, 1995, in the last week Harris' 15-year career in the Majors, when Harris, then a reliever for the Montreal Expos, finally was permitted by manager Felipe Alou to try out something he'd honed in warmups and side sessions for years.
Harris got through a scoreless inning, facing two Cincinnati Reds right-handers (Reggie Sanders and Bret Boone) and two lefties (Hal Morris and Eddie Taubensee), but ultimately the outing was viewed as a bit of a novelty act.
