The Reverse Ankiel

Ex-Yankee Joey Gallo shows off video of first bullpen as he attempts to make comeback as pitcher

As a reminder, St. Louis Cardinal Rick Ankiel was a promising young pitcher who got wild but then went to the minor leagues and emerged an outfielder with some success in the majors. The linked Wikipedia entry compares him to Babe Ruth who was also a pitcher turned hitter, although the “records” they share are pretty precise in what they measured.

I don’t really know who this Joey Gallo is because he’s never played for the Cardinals, Packers, or Blues.
