I agree with this.  There are, I think, 2 pitchers in MLB with 6 fingers on
each hand.  This allows them to apply pressure on the ball differently then
other people.  Technically this means they can throw pitches that a 5
fingered "normal" person could not.  I could definitely see a future for
people with mutations in professional athletes where players wear the label
"freak of nature" with pride.
