Speaking of Trevor Immelman (see post below), he and David Wright both did a nice job on David Letterman's show Monday night.
But the most interesting thing about it was seeing Wright take b.p. on 53rd Street while Immelman played centerfield . . . wearing a lefty glove.
Was it the only one available, or does Trevor swing right, throw left? That is an unusual combo. Rickey Henderson did that.
(UPDATE: WatchDog has learned Immelman is, in fact, a lefty, and even signs autographs that way. Weird.)
A source close to Immelman told WatchDog last night that the Masters champ never had been to New York before his media whirlwind Monday.
It continues today with appearances with Regis and Kelly and a visit to the top of the Empire State Building for a photo op.
I was invited to an event next week that involves schmoozing with Kelly, who produced a film about wrestling. But I'm playing softball that night if my back feels better. Sigh.

I swing right and throw and write with my left hand. If you think about though the dominate hand in a right handed golf swing is the left so I'm correct and everyone else is doing it wrong. Or it just could be that I'm all screwed up, I kick with my right leg.
Phil Mickelson is right handed but plays golf left handed.
Rob: That combo is more common in baseball. The other combo is rare.
I am righthanded, and I throw with my right hand. But I swing a bat and golf club lefty. Weird.
