Default Throw left, bats right

Great lefties so far. Here are 4 players that are members of a fairly uncommon group. Del Drake, Hal Chase, Rube Bressler and Johnny Cooney were all position players that threw left handed, but batted right.

So to celebrate this unusual attribute, I will execute a feeble left-handed scan lob (I am right-handed) for each player: T207 of Del Drake, Tom Barker game card of Hal Chase, W514 of Rube Bressler, and a 1941 Play Ball of Johnny Cooney.

It is interesting to note that the W514 of Bressler depicts him to be a right-handed thrower.
