Jim Banning was a righthand-throwing catcher for the Washington Nationals of the National League. But, he batted lefthanded and showed that ability off in MLB exactly once. While he played in three games over two seasons, he got to the plate only once. Confident in his lefthanded stroke, honed diligently during play in the Red River Valley League for the Fargo, ND team, he finally got to the plate for the Nationals in 1889 and . . . made an out. He never got another chance.
