Larry Nathaniel Kimbrough was an ambidextrous
(pitched right handed and left handed) Negro League baseball pitcher in the
late 1940’s. Nicknamed “Schoolboy”,
Kimbrough began pitching for the Philadelphia Stars in 1942, when he was nineteen
years old. He started with a flash
pitching a shutout against the Newark Eagles. After two seasons, he was drafted into the
military and did not return to the Stars until 1946. But Kimbrough did not reach his pre-military
promise on the mound and never became a star pitcher. However, he did pitch one game both ways;
right handed and left handed.
