Look, everyone is excited about Pat Venditte. But we can't be too busy to fact-check things like "the word for someone who can use both hands equally well."

I believe editors write the headlines.
Yeah, just ask Kirk Scharfenberg. Oops, can't. RIP.

An ambidextrous pitcher pitches with either arm, not both arms. Can you imagine how ridiculous that would be?

An ambidextrous pitcher pitches with either arm, not both arms. Can you imagine how ridiculous that would be? Well, according to the rules, he can pitch left handed against one batter and right against the next. . . resulting in pitching with both arms in the same game.

"He should be good catching a fly." Do the rules allow the use of a tongue?"
Is that a spit ball?

Most newspaper editors are idiots, and proofreaders are usually their mistresses.

I’ll take it and dub you such. I could use an extra hand around here.
By the way, you’re doing it all wrong, your 70th should’ve been celebrated long ago and you should be enjoying the celebration of your...I don’t know, 43rd or so in 1 1/2 fortnights.

Howard Ulman, AP reporter... probably a journalism school graduate. Writers rarely, if ever, create their own headlines. It's nearly always done by a staff member.
To: SoFloFreeper
This is the face of "news" today--unable to use a dictionary, ignorant of history, and without an ability to discern right and wrong. Right. I'm sure such errors never occurred in the past. Who should we blame this on - Bush, or Obama?
