If I was in Baseball, I’d only write with my right hand and hit/throw with my left.
I’m so dull.

You are thinking of Brian L. Hunter. There was also a [Brian Ronald Hunter](http://www.baseball-reference.com/h/huntebr01.shtml) that I remembered playing for the Braves in the early 90’s. After checking [baseball-reference.com](http://baseball-reference.com) it showed that the Brian Hunter from the Braves was probably the one mentioned in the earlier list.
