Southpaws unite!
Some famous left-handers include Oprah, Martina Navratilova, Helen Keller, Mozart, Picasso, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, MC Escher, Mark Twain, Barack Obama, John McCain, Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Paul McCartney, David Letterman, Buzz Aldrin, Cesar Chavez, Geronimo, and our hometown ASU golfer ‘Lefty’ Phil Michelson!
Left-Hander Fun facts:
- A southpaw is a left-handed person, especially a left-handed baseball pitcher. From the practice in baseball of arranging the diamond with the batter facing east to avoid the afternoon sun. A left-handed pitcher facing west would therefore have his pitching arm toward the south of the diamond.
- Studies have shown that left-handers are more likely to have allergies than right-handers
- Almost 15 percent of the population are lefties
- Most left-handers draw figures facing to the right
- There is a high tendency in twins for one to be left-handed
- Left-handers adjust more readily to seeing underwater
- I'm convinced Chein Garcon the Wonder Dog and Coco Butt are left-pawed
