As a lefty

ILL AGREE. I do remember growing up that it was a right handed bias in the world, and for obvious reasons. But whenever I needed a new glove or when I got my first set off golfclubs I had to order everything, I couldnt just go to the store and get it,

LEFTIES RULE

I'm the exact same way. Those spiral notebooks are a pain hah.

fortunately

I am athletically left handed, and oddly, I write with my right hand

I'm right handed, but I taught myself to switch hit in grade school.

And later hit a home run as a lefty! Can I join your club??

Hey, me too!

When I play(ed) hockey (yes, I live in Dempster and Harden’s home country) or golf, I was left handed, but I throw and write right handed. Like Hammer, I had to special order my golf clubs, but… I didn’t have to deal with spiral notebook problems. Kind of the best of both worlds.

*channeling my inner sabermagician*

Doesn’t sample size affect this? The number of LHB has to be less than RHB.

No

Sample size is when you try to draw a conclusion from a very small sample.

In this case you have thousands of players over hundreds of years.
