Good points about baseball. My 5 yr old is a lefty, which has me paying more attention to it. I just read some random history about lefties and didn't realize that they have been belittled so often during history by various cultures. The site said that Larry Bird was a lefty and that lefties are often able to use their right hands better than the other way around (which I'm assuming happend with Bird). I do recall Bird using his left hand often also. I also found the comment below, which would seem to give an advantage in both sports and leadership roles. Connections between the right and left sides of the brain are faster in left-handed people. This means information is transferred faster, making left-handers more efficient in dealing with multiple stimuli and using both sides of the brain more easily
Statistically speaking, left-handed people have shorter life expectancies than righties. The primary reason is that the developed world in general is designed around principles that favor right-handed people, making it therefore more dangerous for lefties. For example, when a squirrel jumps out into traffic, a righty is more likely to swerve to the right-hand side, and possibly onto the shoulder or a sidewalk. Conversely, a lefty is more likely to swere to left and potentially into oncoming traffic (of course, the opposite is true in England). I can see the adaptation of lefties being better than that or righties. They're basically forced, at some point in their lives, to adapt to some right-handed practices, whereas a righty can go his whole life without ever even having to think about it.
None of these guys have ever done squat in the NFL and while Vick is exciting to watch he isn't all that great of an NFL QB either.
right, which is to be expected being that only 10 percent of people are lefties, that kids with a strong left arm are steered into baseball (as a pitcher), and that a lot of natural lefties grew up throwing with their right arm (because it's rare to come across a baseball glove or school desk etc made for lefties). like isistl pointed out, there have only been a few lefty QBs in NFL history that were good, so if you had a few in one year that would be amazing
Having played WR with both lefty and righty QBs. There is a difference in trajectory and spin that can throw a receiver off initially. Once you get used to the odd angle and spin of incoming passes there is no real difference.
Tell tirk when he gets to the ER that it ain't the viagra, but that his prince, Tim Tebow will sign with the Eagles tomorrow.
