Well, we will have a Yankees Parade 2009. And no matter how much I hate the fact they won, I have to give them respect. I mean, they did go out and buy an all-star team and spent the most money by any ballclub to do it but the Yankees proved once again that spending money can equal a championship.

Again, I’m not fully happy about the Yankees win of the World Series 2009 but the baseball season is finally over.

Wait, did I just quote Cole Hamels or something?

Anyways, let’s get to the Yankees Parade 2009. The parade will take place Friday morning and will begin on Broadway at Battery Place starting at 11 in the morning and will go through the Canyon of Heroes to Chamber Street where the mayor will present the keys to the city to the Yankees.

I’m sure the parade will be filled with millions of people to support them. I know how it was when the Red Sox won the World Series.

Anyways, enjoy if you go!

If you are a baseball fan, particularly a New York Yankees fan, you should know who Pat Venditte is. And if you don’t, Pat Venditte is the only professional pitcher who is recognized for being a switch-pitcher.

Wait, what? A switch-pitcher? Don’t you mean a “switch-hitter?”

As most of you guys already know, a “switch-hitter” is a term in baseball in which a batter can hit from both sides of the plate. But like I said, no, I didn’t mean “switch-hitter,” I meant a “switch-pitcher.”

Pat Venditte is ambidextrous but he takes it way past batting, he can throw effectively both right-handed and left-handed. Now, that is what you call talent! I mean, it’s unheard of in professional baseball… until now.

Venditte was drafted by the New York Yankees organization and he currently plays in the minor leagues. In Venditte’s first minor league appearance, there was a usual incident before he faced his last batter of the inning. It’s funny because he was facing a switch-hitter and apparently both of them kept switching sides to get the better match-up.

The conclusion: The umpire ruled in favor of Pat Venditte so the switch-hitter had to choose one side to bat from and then Venditte would have the option of which arm to throw with. While there still has been no official ruling by Major League Baseball, it seems it will be the other way around; pitcher chooses which arm to throw and then the batter chooses which side to bat from.

Venditte also has a custom-made glove so it can be wore on either hand whenever he needs to make the switch.

Honestly, I think it’s pretty unbelievable what Pat Venditte can do on a professional level. I couldn’t believe it until I saw the video below:

Hey, I might not be able to throw like Pat Venditte, but I bet you I can kick from both sides better than he can!
