Jerry Howarth just asked 17-year veteran Alan Ashby if he knew his batting averages from both sides of the plate, for his 17 years in the majors. Ashby said no, but he thought he was better from the left side (he was). Ashby also mused about homering as a lefty and righty in the same game, sometime during his 17-year career, and I could only find one instance: September 27, 1982.
Obligatory post-1970s Blue Jays content: This was the final week of the 1982 season, so with Houston near the bottom of the NL West, Astros left fielder Jose Cruz was probably looking forward to spending some time with his eight-year-old son.
