everyone is born right handed.....

ok, so the punch line..........only the gifted overcome it.........baseball season is the only time when the term leftie is in general use.......it may come up in specific conversation.....signing a check, or filling out a form......but mostly i never notice people who use their left hands unless their technique cries out for attention......my daughter cannot seem tohold her pen the same way word after word.......she struggles so with her handedness........which brings me back to baseball.....i am in awe of lefthanded pitchers.....like ray king this evening for st louis......he makes it look easy.....holding the ball, throwing the ball........i cannot conceive of the motions i watch him make.......i can hold a pen and an eating utensil with my left hand.....but i cannot throw anything with it........i instinctively pick up throwables with my right hand......if i ever coach indiana basketball, look for the chairs to be thrown rightie......just a warning........
