Has anyone ever heard someone ask Lance about hitting LH exclusively? And, if so, what was his answer?
Yes and no, depending on how you look at the situation. I recall a story back in 2003 when Bill Brown mentioned on a telecast that Lance Berkman went up to Larry Dierker and offered to hit exclusively left-handed back in 2001 ( early in his career ), but Larry Dierker encouraged him to remain a switch hitter.

He had the opportunity early in his career to hit left handed all of the time. Had he done that, no telling how much better his career numbers may be right now, as I believe he'd still punish left-handed pitchers hitting left-handed.
