Ferriss: Sox Phenomenon and two-armed pitching wonder
The Boston Red Sox ace Dave Ferriss is touted as a rare two-armed pitcher who could pitch professionally with either arm. At 23, he also plays first base left-handed, stars as a hitter with a .417 average in the San Antonio League, and once pitched five innings right-handed and four left-handed in the minors. Ferriss, discharged from the army air corps for asthma, attracted scouts since high school and quickly became a key asset after five weeks in the majors.
