He wers a 6-fingered glove and switches pitching arms depending on the batter. If I hadn't seen it for myself, I'd think it was a Sports Illustrated hoax for April Fool's Day!

I read that article on espn.com. Pretty neat! As a poster there said, can you imagine if he could change the glove pitch by pitch(using the same glove, of course) to a different hand? That would throw off the rhythm of the hitters for sure!
