Position: Pitcher
Bats: Right, Throws: Right 
Height: 6' 3", Weight: 220 lb.

The text looks like this. I would like to get everything after Throws:.

Answer 1

If you were to solve it with BeautifulSoup, you would find the b tag by text Throws: and get the following sibling:

>>> from urllib2 import urlopen
>>> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
>>>
>>> url = "http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.cgi?id=aardsda01&year=2015&t=p"
>>> soup = BeautifulSoup(urlopen(url))
>>> soup.find("b", text='Throws:').next_sibling.strip()
u'Right'
