I have played baseball and softball for 46 yrs running. I throw and bat left handed. I write right handed. It's not that uncommon. Nice photo btw....

Especially for back when Ruth lived. As writing left-handed was considered wrong. Mainly because the ink would smear by left-handed writers.

Same here, played baseball and softball for 54 yrs, bat and throw left handed but I write right handed. I also play golf and basketball right handed.

It's the other way for me. I'm left-handed, but I play baseball righty (at the plate and in the field) because I learned how to play by copying my dad.

I am a natural lefty but learned to do everything right handed growing up. My parents told me that I was using the wrong hand.

+1. I think the only reason that I write right handing is spending my first six years in Catholic school. The nuns would rap you in the hand if you tried to write left handed!

Also, I picked this card up for the second time in the Sterling auction last night. I love the look and am glad to have it back. I had won it in last September's B&L auction and wound up trading it for four T206's. Sorry for the small scan!

Desiderata

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Strive to be happy.
