The Ambidextrous Quiz

In 1975, Cleon Jones's last season with the Mets, there were two active baseball players who batted righthanded and threw lefthanded -- both out of MLB by early 1976 -- Cleon, of course, being one of the two. Who's the other?

Rickey Henderson and Mark Carreon are the only two I know, and neither of them made it up that early.

Joe Grzenda.

Not looking for a pitcher. Tough quiz here, admittedly.

In quizzes with my brothers at a certain point we'd ask for the guys initials. I'm not asking yet though.

The first person that comes to mind for some reason is another Jones. Mack Jones. But he was the opposite of Cleon, wasn't he?

Mack batted lefty and threw righty.

Grzenda was done after1972, anyway.

I'm still kind of proud for the out-of-my-assiness of that answer, though.
