As a kid, I threw right, batted left & right but always had more power batting left.
As a teen, I took up golf as a lefty and tennis as a righty.
At 12, the City of Dayton,OH honored me as one of the best LL players in the city....so I guess I was doing something right. I had dreams of being a ML player...until this petite blue-eye blonde moved next door and my interests changed.
I always wondered what could have been. In LL, I had a .800 batting average and the kid who was our catcher batted .200...and later became the starting catcher for the LA Dodgers (Steve Yeager). Even in LL, he had one hellava arm!
However, I golf as a right-hander and also play pool as a right hander. I find it very difficult to switch the other way.
Yet in baseball, I bat left-handed and yet cannot hit the ball at all batting right-handed.
Very strange.
