Which hand?

I'm completely right handed, and right eye dominant.

My grandfather was completely ambidextrous. He would take a baseball in each hand, take two steps, and throw two strikes.

Dad was just... "confused". He did things both ways. He could write with both hands, but that's because his right arm was shattered in 8th grade, and he spent much of the school year with that arm in a cast.

which foot would he push off with when he threw with both hands?

Missed the "take two steps" part, eh?

Russell Kanning

Would he throw one first and then take another step and throw off that foot?

Kat says there are more left handed comments then votes .... "very interesting" (writes in notebook)

Exactly.

He was a semi-pro catcher in the 1920s. I understand that he used it to his advantage to keep people confused.


Russell Kanning

can you imagine him as a pitcher? The guy steps into the batters box .... the pitcher switches gloves and crosses him up. :)

I voted right because that is the hand I use %99 of the time.

Yeah, about 1% of the time you like a 'strange piece'

I was wondering how long it would take to descend to this level... and I should have guessed who it would be.  ;D

I must have missed something. I have a special "ignore" button that skips all of Lloyd's bad jokes. :)

If he did a good one, I could give him a lefthanded compliment.

Lloyd Danforth

Thats good as some of my jokes are salty
