    can anyone think of another non-pitcher besides Rickey Henderson who bats right, throws left?

    cool question! I have one: Brian Hunter. Played for Atlanta. not sure if he's still around or not.

    Wonder if there has ever been a catcher who throws left-handed?

    Good work truefan! This is correct for Brian R Hunter the plodding first-baseman.
    Last seen he played in the minors for Toronto last year. I don't think anything has surfaced on his whereabouts for this year. He's 34.
    Left-handed catcher? I'm sure there's been one though I bet there has never been a regular c that throws left. Anybody know?

    Didn't Duke Sims throw lefthanded?

    the last left handed throwing catcher was Mike Squires, i think, for the White Sox - except it was a fluke thing - he was the emergency catcher - usually a first baseman
