Answers:
The ambidextrous Greg Harris did pitch left-handed once, while with the Expos, and in a home game. Do you remember the area behind the plate at The Big O, the area with the glass? On his first left-handed pitch in the majors, Harris was a bit wild, and broke that glass.
Harris was not the first man to pitch with both arms in the major leagues, but he was the first in the "modern" era. This is the entry from the 1st edition of "Total Baseball"
July 18, 1882
