there aren't even hitters with those letters in any part of their name (first or last) in that order.
I know at one point Rickey Henderson was the only player in the major leagues that threw left-handed and batted (only) right-handed. Randy Johnson is another one, but I am counting only hitters. Anyone know of any players now that do this? Remember, only right-handed hitting.

Maybe Sheffield will have something to say about it.
I personally think that MLB needs to be aware of this situation and do everything in their power to develop young hitting Timmaaays.

Good Call

Even though is not in the majors, I will give you credit for that one. Randy Johnson is another one.

Mike Hampton throws left and bats right I believe. And he *was* a good hitting pitcher.
There's probably more pitchers like that, because they learn to pitch lefty at a young age for lack of any natural lefties on their high school teams or whichever.
