Men who bat left hand over the right are very scarce nowadays. Ezra Sutton was the best of all , with Chub Sullivan close behind. Sutton, however, left off batting cross-handed about ten years ago. McPhee used to bat in the same way until 1882, when Snyder broke him off the habit. Many players bat up fungo in the cross-handed style, Burdock, for instance, and he is a wonderful fungo hitter. Clements is a left-handed, cross-handed hitter.
