Didn't it arise out of an ambidextrous pitcher (perhaps Pat Venditte himself?) facing a switch hitter?
The pitcher would line up to pitch righty and the batter would dig in on the left side, so the pitcher said, "Screw this!!" and decided he would pitch lefthanded to the lefty instead. The batter, of course, also said, "Screw this!!" and turned around to bat righty against the lefty.
So on and on the righty/lefty switching went with neither player willing to concede, and eventually the umpires had to decide how to resolve the stalemate right there. Something like that.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
