Ambidextrous Outfielder May Be Answer To Mets' Problems
Times-Daily - June 6, 1973
The injury-troubled New York Mets have come up with a solution for their health problems. They have drafted an ambidextrous outfielder.
He's Lee Mazzilli of Brooklyn and he was the 14th player chosen Tuesday in baseball's summer free agent draft.
Joe McDonald, director of minor league operations for the Mets, announced the selection, reporting that Mazilli, "Bats, right-left. Throws, right-left." If he hurts one hand, a regular Met hazard these days, he can use the other.
