has anyone ever hit a homerun left handed and right handed in one game? if so how many times has this happened? and who were the people who did it?

There have been many. Actually, there have been two MLB players who have hit homeruns, one from each side of the plate, in the same inning. I am not going to give you their names just in case that is your next question.

Eddie Murray has the most in history with 11 (AL 9, NL 2) yet doesn't hold any records. Mickey Mantle holds the AL record with 10 and Ken Caminiti holds the NL record with 10.

Yes, it is quite a common feat. Some of the more notables names are Mickey Mantle, Eddie Murray, and Chipper Jones. But here is a link to a website that lists the feat by league and the date that it happened. Because it is quite extensive. http://www.baseball-almanac.com/feats/feats20.shtml

It’s happened almost 90 times.
Mickey Mantle, Ken Caminiti, and Eddie Murray are the all time record holders.

Ruben Sierra also did it, and I remember Topps issuing a special commemorative baseball card in 1990 just for that feat. Beckett's price guide said it was worth $0.02 - $0.07, so I saved it all these years. It's worth nothing now. I should have sold it back then and invested all that money.

It happens every few years, a few times it has been done in the same inning but that is another question altogether.

I remember Andruw Jones doing it in the '96 World Series.
My bad. He homered off a lefty (Pettite) and a righty (Boehringer) at the tender age of 19.

Caseman:
Andruw Jones isn't a switch-hitter.

Yes.
Mickey Mantle was the first to ever do it.
